Mike Thanks for the Holyland baptismal date - she did know how old she was - makes a change! I'm looking for BROOKES. Thomas born c1809.Osbaston Father George c1766-1771 (1841 census age rounded to 70). George married Mary Argel Wain Cadeby 1798. She was 60 rounded down in 1841SOOO 1781-1777ish. I don't have access to Cadeby at all. So anything from the Cadeby register would be great. Jan

Hi Mike, I'm looking for burials in Leicester at the moment. I've been searching on FamilyHistoryOnline, but their Leicester City burials only go up to 1909. If you have anything more recent, could you look up Lilla Annis and Horace Charles Annis for me? They both died after 1901.

Hi Mike and everybody I've read in the Mercury twice recently that you can now look at some parish registers online but I can't find it anywhere, has anybody else found it please? Tracey x

Hi Everyone, Looking for a second marriage for Leonard Philip Isaacs in Leicester roughly around late 1920's, to Rose ? (Not Rosetta Townsend, this was his first marriage). Unable to find births registered for two of his known sons, Miles and Frederick Lewis. I know that in the 1970's they lived in Ocean Close, Leicester. Leonard's D.O.B - 1894. Would appreciate any information at all. Thank You Anne P.S Leonard's father was a Commission Agent, does anyone know what this actually means?

Hi there I wonder if you might be able to help me, please? I'm trying to find out about the father of ENOCH TOON, born Thurcaston, 1833. His name was HENRY TOON - he's on the 1841 census, living in Thurcaston, born abt 1801 - but I can't find anything more about him on the IGI. I'll be very grateful for any info you might be able to tell me!!! Thanks Rosemary
