i have the index for 1851 census that covers all of Leicestershire villages, but not the city,so am willing to do look ups . Jane

Hi Jane If your index is searchable by name I would be extremely grateful for any information you can find on the name WYKES, I have them popping up in Sibson and Sheepy Magna areas mainly. Thanks very much! Regards Sally

Hi Jane I'm looking for two families hope you can help THOMAS POTTER from Nottingham b1801 married to Eliza from Loughborough. SAMUEL PERKINS from Market Harborough b1825 married to Elizabeth from Market Harborough b1826 Hope you can find them. Thanks Diane, Leicester

Ruth + Diane have sent you both emails direct. Jane

Jane Thank you so much for the Wykes info. I have checked and the head of household looks like he is my 1st cousin 8 times removed!! Do you have any other info on the CD such as address or folio number of any other details such as relationships or birthplaces or occupations? Sorry to be a pain! But I am really excited and looking forward to proving the link! Many Thanks Sally, Coventry

Thanks you are a gem!!!!!!!!!! Diane xx

Hi Jane Thanks for trying to help find the POTTERS prehaps they were still in Nottingham any info on Samuel and Elizabeth Perkins would be welcomed with open arms. Thanks Diane xx

Hello Jane, Can you please do a 1851 look up for a James and Ann Nutt, theywhere married Humberstone,but all the children (and there where quiet a few) born in Thurcaston, Leicestershire. If this is to much work, don't worry. Eileen in Portsmouth

Sally, glad to be of some help ,but can't tell you anymore than i've given you. All the index gives is name( not middle names though ), age,and a code for the house they were in, so can cross reference the people to find out who else was in same house and work out which village they were living in at time of census, but thats you're lot i'm afraid. Jane

Eileen, Had a look for you, but the only Nutt's in Thurcaston were ; Anne 65 Sarah 20 both in same house Also checked Thurlaston and Thurmaston for you, just in case , but nothing i'm afraid. Do you have any other ideas as to where they could be? Or give me a rough idea on ages or childrens name. Jane

Hi Jane Thanks very much anyway! I shall try and find a marriage or something else to prove the link. Thanks for taking the time for me. Regards Sally

Jean, is there any clues at which village he might be in .......... as i have 27 volumes to go through, and with only an estimated age it might prove a lengthy exercise. Jane

Still looking for CHARLES WILLIAM FAULKS. the 1881 census has him born in 1845 and living in Qourndon . Many thanks, June.

Hi Jane Any information you could let me have on the Whittington family living in Sileby would be most appreciated. Thanks very much Julie
