I am a descendant of Francis Garfoot of Greetham, who gives his father's name as Charles on his marriage certificate. My Francis was born in circa 1810, and went on to run a Carrier business between Ibstock and Loughborough on a thursday, and Ibstock and Ashby De La Zouch on a Saturday according the the Leicestershire records. Any assistance would be appreciated as it would appear Rutland records are a little sparse.

Regards Helen

Hello

CHARLES GARFOOT

HESTHER GARFOOT
05 APR 1801 Greetham, Rutland

obviously, would need checking

We have a Garfoot family tree which includes your ancestors Francis and his parents Charles and Mary. I am descended from Charles's brother William (born 1761). Charles's parents were John Garfoot (1731-1813) and Mary Holmes (1738-1812). They were married at Ryhall, Lincs, on 12th December 1755, so I presume Mary comes from there. John and Mary lived in Market Overton, Rutland, but that is as far as we can go back at the moment.

Dear Ray

Thank you for getting back to me, and I appreciate the information that you have given me. I seem to have found a John Holmes (1715) and Ann being the parents of Mary Holmes but yet to verify this. co-incidentally Francis Garfoot went on to marry a Catherine Broadhead of Loughborough (where I live) and her maiden name was Holmes

Kind regards Helen

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner and thanking you for the information you kindly sent. I have had Ray Garfoot reply and if you take a look at that he has helped also.

Kind regards

Helen
