Hi Elaine,

Tks for making contact. I would to be in touch with anyone who may help. Is there another way other than thru this thread. I am not really sure how all this works. I have listed my Thomas Noon as part of my tree.
Does the entry for the 1835 marriage mentioned any other details, eg birth place of either or may be fathers names ??

Tks again

I think some soldiers were billeted with local families as opposed to living in barracks, weren't they, Mike?

I know my mum's family had somebody billeted with them.

Thanks for trying, Mike - don't worry about looking at the Records Office, because it'll take you too long as I don't know the date, and I'm not even sure that the marriage actually took place in Lubenham - I'm just guessing because that was where the children were born.

*** F.A.O. *** Mary O’ Italy…..

No luck with my Discs .......
I think that the answer to that would only be gained by viewing Parish Registers for Lubenham at the Records Office ……….

*** F.A.O. *** Paul ……..

The only CAMP ( Pitched tents ) I can think of was on Braunstone Park

82nd Air born Div. U.S.A. Forces…….

But Barracks were dotted around the City and on the out shirts
Usually at………… TA. Centres
Glen Parva………. Royal Leicester Reg. ( Tigers )

Do you have a copy of the marriage that could give you your Father's address & service No' ....

Hi Mike,

Could you look for a marriage in Lubenham for me if you have it on your discs?

I'm interested in the marriage of Thomas Berry and a Hannah; don't know when, but their first child that I'm aware of was born in Lubenham in 1723.

Lubenham baptisms are on the IGI, but marriages don't seem to be.

Thanks a lot,
Mary

Not sure about Army camps, though I expect Mike will know. However, the camp may not actually have been in Leicester.

My parents met during WWII; my mum was from Leicester and my dad from Australia, but they met at a dance in Lichfield, Staffs while he was posted to an airfield in Lincs and she was visiting relatives in Lichfield.

Greeting’s & Welcome Jane……

Here is the Ref No’s you require to order the Marriage certificate
Of your Relatives…….

October ~ November ~ December Quarter 1945.

John N. Lewis. ~ Mavis M. Banks.
LEICESTER DISTRICT.
Cert. No. 7 A. 1773.

They check out via both surnames but I see that for Mavis’s Indexed ref No’s
The G.R.O. have missed the 1st. 1 so giving it as 7 A 773.

You seem to think it was conducted at the Registrar’s Office ?
Therefore I’ll not be able to see this register entry at the Records Office as they only hold records of events which were conducted in Parish Churches


So… if you require to see the details of this event then I’m afraid then you’ll have to order the certificate via the G.R.O. Site.

But if I can help you further then please ask....

Hi Karen

Hope you don't mind me 'popping in' only I have an interest in Noon too. There is a marriage for Thomas Noon and Mary Smith at Leicester All Saints 1835.
I have a Warren/Noon connection and am in contact with a Noon cousin just in case you would like me to put you in touch

Hi Mike

I am looking for a marriage for a Thomas Noon bc 1815.. somewhere in the Leicester area. In 1841 he and his wife Mary Ann bc 1816 (nee Smith) are in the Belgrave Gate area as shoemakers . I have them on all census till their deaths in 1886 and 1890. The other areas were Market Harborour and St Margaret . I have gone thru the parish register film for Belgrave Gate with no luck and have just ordered the birth cert of daughter Eliza b1840 Market Harborour.

I would really love some advice on where I should look next.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Mike
I have spoken to Eric Fuller`daughter again.
I found a date that I could possibly work on again. As he had seven children I asked her who the eldest one was.
This gave me a better Idea, and Guess What.
I found marriage Eric.R and Joan A/M/J 1935. I searched first 1937/40. then went back further.
He had two surnames on the index, apparently he used the oher one sometimes.
But both names on that occasion
Look no further Mike ,one less now.
Thanks for your help Bye marian

Mike Thank you very much indeed for all your time spent on helping me.
My family seemed stay in close communtiy of the village life at that time in Lecis except for my 3xG grandfather Fredrick Bennett (Martha's son from her first marriage to William) left home at a young age & ended up in Birmingham perhaps he did not get on with Edward who knows.
I wonder what William died of so young, he was my 4xGrandfather. Martha soon married again !!
Is it possible to have a copy of the documention as previously offered.
once again my many thanks to you Mike.

Greeting’s again …..Marian…

Was it to do with why one of your threads on Records Office board.
Which seemed to have gone walkies ?

The reason I believe was that with the details you gave it could be possible that there could be living relatives belonging to these people. And could have contravened the polices of this site
Therefore it was deleted by the site….

I’m still looking for the Fuller Marriage but to date not found it.
