Hi Elaine

I have no details of an Amelia Kilby at all
c 1875?. But then again, I havent found ANY Kilbys yet before Herbert, but would dearly love to.
(I believe that Herbert died in 1914)

So far, I know of Herbert & Annies children - with the exception of Robert, I know only his birth & death dates, but nothing in-between. I would like to trace his decendents.
Most of the Fowkes / Kilby family seem to be around St Margarets, Leicester.
Thanks again Elaine

Hi Mike
Youve previously helped with my Harris family from Hugglescote
I cant find any info from the Anglican P R 's so i am wondering if you have access to the Hugglescote Baptist records please
Im looking for the birth of Elizabeth Harris ,she was b about 1810, and according to her mar details her father was William Harris. There is a William Harris who was a member of Hugglescote Baptist church
Eliz Harris also had an illigitimate son named Charles Harris b about 1834 Hugglescote. Ive never been able to find his birth either so please could you look in the Baptist records for that
Thanks Marion in oz
