Halfords From Leicestershire

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Gerald Report 14 Feb 2009 19:19

Does Anyone have access to Parish Records for Leicestershire please? I am stuck on some of my ancestors from that County. James Halford born 1830 Lockington Leicestershire, his parents were William Halford and Sophia Tomlinson, married Lockington Leicestershire 1820. William does not appear on the 1841 census, so I reckon must have died before hand, could anyone find his parents and siblings for me please? Sophia Tomlinson born 1801 Hemmington Leicestershire, parents and siblings anyone? Death for William even. I have from 1841 census James siblings as Harriet, Thomas, Mary and George, from 1851 William has appeared too??? 1851 James (my great) is living as a Farm Servant with a family named Pegg in Hemmington, but it's the earlier lot I am trying to get info on. Would appreciate any leads. Thanks Gerald.

Although I’m not convinced that this is the William Halford who married Sophia
