C. = Common Plot. F. = Freehold Plot. Didn’t see Rebecca Pool(e) unless buried in her married name ? Re burial of Thomas in the Methodist faith ? St. George Chapel was not very big plus it was within the crowded District off Wharf Street.& didn’t have a graveyard of it’s own. I would think it more likely Thomas was buried within the Un consecrated Ground of a E.o E. Church somewhere within the Borough of Leicester. Now some where in the back of my mind ( No funnies please Maggie …lol ) I recall an article in the Leicester Mercury with reference to a Graveyard just for Nonconformists Which stood on the corner of Soar Lane / Great Central Street. Which would have put it in the right area. I believe it was decommissioned in 1899 when the Great Central Railway Built their turntable in the area.

Hi Mike a little question on how? How can I find out who lived at an address in Leicester in 1933/34/35/and 36 if I don't live in Leicester, would my local library have the details? Thanks Paul

Greeting's Again Paul...... Electoral Rolls is the only way seeing the years you want But the names will only be of those able to vote...... It's possible to order theses on Fiches at your local LDS Centre but come at £2.70 per fiche which could workout expensive. .... I could do it for you here in Leicester Once I know the Address MIKE.

Thanks Mike, The address is 28 Marriott Road Leicester U.D. I am hopeing there will be William Taylor Rose Eva Taylor and maybe Emily Jane Perry If they are there I have found my Grandparents and G.Grandmother. Thanks Paul

Greeting's Again........ Paul. Right got that The trick will be to find out which Ward it came under apart that it's the Saffron Estate...... Do you have any certificates where this address is mentioned ? It might state the Ward somewhere along the top near to the Parish name. MIKE. GOT IT ....FREEMANS WARD. ' Watch this space then ........'

hi can someone look up a thomas clarke b 1788 narborough leicester on 1861 census plz have his death in 1869 thanks sj

Hi folks As it's holiday time, thought I'd offer lookups in parish registers for the Coalville area: Ibstock, Whitwick, Hugglescote etc. PLEASE give as much info as possible to give me a good chance of finding something! I probably won't go until next Wednesday (8th) at the earliest... Jan

Hi Mike just says Registration District Billesdon. Sub district Billesdon in the county of Leicester. hope that helps Paul

Greeting’s Sarah……. The closest using your details :~ 1861. Census returns. RG 9. / 2296. / 40. / Page. 2. Aylestone St. Andrew’s Parish. Close to the Rectory Grocer's Shop Thomas CLARK. Head Mar. 73. Grocer b HUNCOTE. Mary A. Wife. 73. Grocers Wife b Aylestone. Huncote is the next village on from Narborough. NO CLARKE matching your details showed up. MIKE.

hi mike thanks for the info on 1841 and 1851 census have thomas clarke livivng in woodhouse (nether town) eaves street so what youve found colud be possible that its my thomas that has moved to huncote. when he lived in woodhouse he was a fwk so may have had a change of career bu 1861 . did find a death for thomas in 1869 so all this is poss in 1861 was john clarke with him?? sj

Thanks very much for all those Pool(e) burials, Mike, I'll have a good look at them and report back. Rebecca was buried under her married name of Rebecca Day at Welford Road cemetery. I wonder whose children the two Letitias were? I'm still trying to trace Joseph's parents Richard and Letitia Pool(e). I haven't found a marriage or birth for either of them yet - nothing obvious on the censuses at all, but they could both have died before 1841. The only other Pool(e)s I haven't found any sign of yet are Joseph's three siblings Mary (1806), Stephen (1808) and Selina (1809) - can't find a death or a marriage for any of them, only their baptisms at St. Margarets, and can't see them on the censuses. None of the names of the people buried in the same plot as Joseph and Hannah ring a bell at all - would it be normal for them to be buried with unrelated people?

hi been looking for thomas clarke b 1788 narborough and in my notes i have his year of death beiing as 1869 but cant for the life of me think where i found it any ideas most welcome sj ps this is what i found thomas clarke abt 1788 year reg 1869 jan feb march qrt age death 81 blaby leicestershire

Hi again, if anybody has any parish records, I would be very grateful if they could look up the following: The children of William and Jane Jarvis born in Odstone, Leicestershire. I think the parish would be Market Bosworth. I have 4 children so far: Jane born abt 1827 Eliza born abt 1829 Mary born abt 1831 Hannah born abt 1833 I think there might be more children as by 1841 William and Jane are about 50 years old and only the above 4 are living at home. Thank you Vicky

*** F.A.O. *** ..... Mary O’ Italy…… George Street Primitive Methodist records Reads thus :~ Female. Thomas Pool. Born 21st. December. 1834.. Baptised 5th. Jan. 1835. Address. :~ All Saints .Leicester. Father:~ Joseph Pool. Wool Comber. Mother :~ Ann Night. Geoffrey Manson. Minster. ( I can now see why the Female came in the five baptisms above Thomas’s were all Female. So the Clark got carried away …..) With the ref to the Burial I found for 11th. Sept 1837 St. Nicolas Parish Church Thomas Poole . INF, Seems this is missing from the Registers The Registers Goes from 5th. Sept. next entry is for 21st. Sept But I did find this one :~ St. Nicolas Parish Burial Registers Page 159. Entry. No. 1271. William Thomas Poole. Thornton Lane. Buried 1st. March. 1838. Aged 3. Years Old. J. Davis. Curate. Which seems to fit ? although Christian names as Thomas as the middle one MARRIAGE Details I have found :~ From the Marriage Registers at Wigston. Reads thus. :~ St. Margaret’s Parish Church.

MIKE.xx

That's brilliant, Mike, thanks very much. The baptism certainly seems to show that Thomas is one of mine, because Joseph was a wool comber, and the burial looks quite promising, too. The marriage details are also very useful - I'm hoping Robert Pool will turn out to be somebody interesting. Mary

Greeting's again. ....... Mary O' Italy. Sorry .....It was RICHARD Pool by his mark = + as wit's for Joseph & Hannah's marriage My mistake ( makes note to go to typing school soon ) I have now amended my post. I was not sure if you had those details for the marriages already ? Sorry. MIKE. xx

Ah, that makes sense - I've been looking for a Robert and found nothing, but Richard was the name of Joseph's father. I already had the dates of the two marriages, but not the witnesses and abodes, which are always useful. If you have a spare minute any time, I'm trying to find the death of Rebecca Pool's husband, Henry Hales Day. He was in the Sparkenhoe Street workhouse in 1891 and 1901, but I can't find a death/burial for him anywhere. He was a shoemaker, born in Leicester c. 1827.
