I am new to this site and reside in USA so please bear with me.
1. Swithin George KING is my greatgrandfr., born 1801 Gt Easton Leicestershire. I found him on the 1851 -1881 census in said area. He was a baker by trade. I have no information on him prior to 1851. He had several children.
Question: Is there a County or City Directory, either business or residential that might have him listed?
2. He was married to Charlotte Bates who died about 1843/4. He then married my gt Grandmother, Mary ASHBY about 1844. She is on the 1851 said Census and she apparently, died between 1851 and 1861 as he is documented a widower. There may have been a marriage prior to Charlote BATES. I do not know.
3. My grandfr., Charles A. KING is on Gt Easton Census 1851 is four years old (fact) and then on the 1861 he is a servant and baker in another household. I then found him on the 1871 census Gt Easton, Leicestershire.
Interestingly, I found him indexed in a marriage record that he married an Elizabeth SMITH 1871 Regiatration year Sept Qtr., Dist: Leicester (1837-1974 vol.a p.346. Would like more detail, if possible.
I would love to hear from any of his descendants. Also looking for a possible family bible.
If anyone has any info regarding the above, I would very much appreciate hearing from you. Thank you, Therese
