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.
Nick.

Re: James Gulliver m. Elizabeth Mary Cradwick on 1 June 1846

raevit — 2009-10-25 00:58:38Z

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.
Regards,

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

Oops! Sorry!
I have William Pickard burial 27th September, 1766.

Have these also:
DAKIN Annabel burial 17th September, 1765
LACY Rebecca burial 20th June, 1768
LACY Henry son of John and Sarah, burial 19th March 1772.

Re: Families in Barrow and Sileby

livenlet — 2009-10-24 17:10:41Z

Of course I do not mind, Anne. These messages are for all to see and respond to.

I have not come across William yet but may do so later. I am wainting for the next batch of images. What is a likely range of dates for his burial? Chin up, Nick.

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.

Re: The Breakwell Family

hazelgreen50 — 2009-10-01 22:40:05Z

Hi,
I am Hazel Green
My grandmother was Hilda Edna May Breakwell. Her father was Frederick Edmund Breakwell. His father was F.E.R.Breakwell so is my gggrandfather too.
Please visit my tree, I have a photograph beleived to be him sitting on his mothers' knee kindly given to me by Keith Breakwell who also gave me extensive details of the Long Eaton Breakwells which I have entered on my tree. There is also a report of the death of F.E.R.Brakewell (note spelling-in report and on his headstone) in 1885 from the Long Eaton Advertiser.
His father is Thomas Breakwell and mother is Mary Rowe married 23/4/1842 at Wibbenhall. Thomas is entered as a widow on the marriage certificate.I haven't confirmed his first wife yet.
I haven't found F.E.R.Breakwells birth. I found an entry for Edmund Row-christened 14/7/1829 Cleobury Mortimer-mother- Mary Row, no mention of a father. It has been suggested that I look at the Shropshire bastardy bonds to see if there is an entry for Mary Rowe-which will give the fathers name.I have the death certificates for Thomas & Mary-details are also on my tree.
Looking at the info given to me by Keith Breakwell I can see Sam married to Ginny with Ethel one of their children. He also has Emma (unmarried) Elsie(unmarried nurse) Francis,Stan,Frank,Sam(London).He has nothing of the next generation-so anything that you can contribute will be gratefully received.
If you are missing any of the certificates which I have collected I will willingly let you have copies. I hope that my findings tally with yours. Please let me know of any discrepencies. We are off to Cleobury Mortimer this weekend if the weather is ok to see if 'The Foutain Inn' & 'The Crown Inn'-where Mary Rowe/Breakwell died- are still there.

Re: Emma Cutts born 25th November 1880 in Melton Mowbray

alberta24 — 2009-09-10 13:36:31Z

More info,which may help.
A Thomas Hart Cutts married Mary a Judd,Melton Mowbray 1852
they would appear to be the parents of William Hart cutts
1861 norman street,Melton mowbray
Thomas Hart age 39 b. Wellow notts Drayman
Mary A Hart age 39 b. Melton
William Hart age 8
Thomas hart age 6
1871 Norman street
Thomas hart age 49
Mary 49
William 18
Thomas 16
John Kemp Hart 9

Thomas was baptised Thomas Cutts in 1821 Wellow Notts
his mother Ann Cutts named on baptism.
After this Thomas calls himself Hart
In 1825 an Ann Hart married John needham in Thrussington Leics
1841 Thrussington
John Needham age 39 Coachsmith
Ann age 38
Hannah 16
Sarah 13
Mary 9
William 5
Eliza 2
Elizabeth 3 months
Thomas Hart age 18

In 1851 census
Ann Needham says she was born Wysall Notts
There is an entry for Ann Hart born Wysall 1801 mother anne
My theory is that Ann hart had a son Thomas by a Mr Cutts who she baptised with his name and then changed it when he was older.

Hi,

This is a longshot but I am researching Bodycots in Leicester. I have a Mary Bodycot born 1819 in somewhere like Lenoncourt in France, she died in Northumberland Street in Leicester in 1890. She married a Francis Hill 1843.

I am struggling to nail down her parents, I think there may possibly be an Ipswich connection?

Just wondering if you may have come across her or in some way related?

Kind Regards

The best I can make of the writing is the name is "N.B.
Smart". The above named person is listed as niece and informant with
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

Thank you for the Hart info.
I had a look on the IGI & found Ann Hart's marriage to John Needham.
Your theory could be correct, but why continue the Cutts name on with some people.
I was also looking for the births of their children on the IGI & it appears the name was Needham Sills???? gets more confusing as I go along.
