On the 1841 census, people were told to round down the ages of adults to the nearest 5 years, so someone who is marked at 15, could be anything between 15 and 20. I think this is James with his family.

Re: Families in Barrow and Sileby

livenlet — 2009-10-25 10:36:14Z

Hi Anne,
The National Archives site is your best bet for finding out if there was a chance William was a soldier in the Leicestershire Regiment. I knew my grandfather's Regimental Number and picked his records up from there in no time at all. Mary could have met William in England. There were many migrant workers in the fishing industry.

I have bookmarked this page, so I won't lose this thread. When I get more material, I shall come back with the news.

Hi Greg,
Have just seen your query regarding the above (5 years after you posted it!). James Gulliver is in fact my great grandfather. His son Frederick Gulliver (who later changed his name to Gulliver-Cradwick) was my grandfather. His son, George Herbert Alan was my father.

Re: Families in Barrow and Sileby

mango1212 — 2009-10-24 22:58:09Z

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your quick reply. William would have been born around 1762ish i think. I know that a Mary Pickard was married in 1819 at Sileby and she was a widow, but it could have been William and Marys daughter, also called Mary. She was born 1792 in Sileby. If you find any Pickards of Sileby, would you let me know. This is the last piece of the jigsaw for me.

Would you happen to know if i could find out if William was in the 17th Foot Regiment of Leicstershire. I know the regiment came up to Aberdeen before going on to Ireland i think. That could explain how he met Mary, who was from Strichen in Aberdeenshire.

Anne

Re: Families in Barrow and Sileby

mango1212 — 2009-10-24 10:53:43Z

Hi,

I hope you don't mind me butting in, but i was chuffed to see that you are transcribing deaths in Sileby. My 4x Gt Grandparents lived there. The name is William Pickard of Sileby. His wife was Mary nee Farquhar from Scotland. I would be delighted to hear if you have seen Williams death. I have nothing to go on for them, no marraige or death certificates. The only thing that might have happened is that a Mary Pickard married a John Landon in 1819 in St Marys Church Sileby, and it states that she was a widow. Mary and William would have been born around 1762. Hope this makes sense

Anne

Re: Families in Barrow and Sileby

livenlet — 2009-10-20 23:46:00Z

I have posted messages on both those sites. There are many broken links on the Sileby site.

I am so pleased that you were able to get someone to go to the record office at Wigston. That is the best way to do research. I wonder whether you would be able to give me a list of surnames for the Barrow and Sileby villages.

Does your friend have an email address? My web site may help you find out more about me. See http://FurnissWorld.org

Re: Families in Barrow and Sileby

eyepie59 — 2009-10-20 20:20:27Z

Hi when I first started looking for family around the Leicestershire area I was shown to www.sileby-village.co.uk were alot of records were put on the site and I think they are in the process of transcribing all the local records. The other site I use is www.leicestershirevillages.com. There are forums on both sites. I was lucky to get a fairly local person researching the same family who was able to go to the records office and local churches to check on information found on the internet sites.

Hope these sites are some help to you.

Re: Families in Barrow and Sileby

livenlet — 2009-10-20 19:45:01Z

Thanks eyepie,
Do you belong to any other forums or groups who are interested in the Sileby parish records?
I would like as many proven records as possible. I want to be accurate and where possible give suggestions where I am uncertain of the entry in the register. Ideally, I should like to see the registers rather than view poor fiche files. This is impossible at present.

Re: Families in Barrow and Sileby

eyepie59 — 2009-10-20 14:09:00Z

There were Brewin's as well in the area as a member of the Lewin family married one of them.

I will look into my records and see what other names I can find.

Re: Families in Barrow and Sileby

livenlet — 2009-10-20 12:06:09Z

Hi eyepie59,
That is very helpful.
I have only completed the 6 years 1765 - 1770. I have come across Hickling and Brewin but not Lewin so far. The images are so bad I could mix up Lewin and Brewin. I shall now check again.
Also another unusual name STIRK which at first I thought was Kirk.

My email address is zen56694@zen.co.uk if you want to email direct.

Re: Families in Barrow and Sileby

eyepie59 — 2009-10-20 11:04:19Z

Hi I have just read your message and not knowing exactly what it is you want I am just informing you that the family I am researching (Lewin) had lots of family members throughout Barrow upon Soar and Sileby. Other names related through marriage are Hickling, Litherland, Branson. Let me know what details you need and I will try to help. Also if you come across any Lewin's on your search I would be grateful if you could pass it on.

The best I can make of the writing is the name is "N.B.

the above address in October of 1927 on the death registration of my husband's great uncle. Harry Tucker, of 7 Sea View Avenue, Plymouth, died on October 24, 1927 in Plymouth, England. He was 73 yrs of age and a retired mine agent. Can anyone help me with who this person is? So far I have not come across the name "Smart" in any connection with Harry Tucker and I am wondering if I am missing a whole branch of a tree. Could this person possibly be related to Ada Eliza Maud Atkinson who married Isaac Sampson Maunder in 1916? Any help would be greatly appreciated. MJMalason

hey i knew the battle of arras was 1917, but didn't the British keep losing and regaining control of it prior to when the Canadians helped out? anyway- winnifred could've used the name hawkridge because she was only 2 when her father died. thus she was raised by a family friend/her mothers sister with the last name hawkridge. does that do any help? sorry it took so long to respond my computer was down for the last month.

I made a slight error. Micah's middle name was Herbert. born 28/11/1818, died 30/11/1897. Charles Carrington born 16/11/1847. William Carrington born 25/5(?)/1888
