Good evening Mike
good to hear from you again! I've just been telling my brother about the last info you found for us about Joseph and Elizabeth Kibby. He's delighted. Thanks again!
He was in Leicester again yesterday -
found some stuff -
we know about Christopher and Lucy Waddington,
he's been at Hallaton cemetery and seen the baptismal records. But that list of yours seems rather more extensive.
It's that Christopher's parents we would dearly like to find.
on LDS he appears to be born in Leicester in 1793, while all the others are Hallaton born and bred.
Any suggestions?

maybe that should be Medbourne - not Hallaton.
it's getting late!

hello again Mike
what stirling research - thank you!
My brother has been doing lots of research on this and I think has found the Waddingtons in huge numbers, no need for you to repeat the process. But thank you very much for all you have done.
I certainly haven't got all those death entries, that's very useful.
My broter has recently joined my in the family research and he has the time to go to the local Mormon place, yesterday we shot back 3 generations on one line of the family! Incredible :) :) now we're back to early 1700's on that one.
sorry i didn't reply before to your last posting, being a rev mother I was busy filling the death registers as I buried folk. (lots of funerals to put it simply - very draining).
regards

Mike a ps - the line we did somuch on yesterday was the Gamble's that you dicovered for us - Joseph and Elizabeth - so Eliz's side is well documented now.
thanks again

Hello Revmother; are you still researching Christopher Stevenson?
A CS was the youngest son of Leonard Stevenson of Hallaton who m Ether Day on Jan 29 1778. Amongst other children were William, Henry, Anne and Esther. These four and C are mentioned in the will of a Leonard Stevenson who died in 1831. Christopher got £20. His mother was the residuary legatee with a life interest only and after her death the estate was to be divided between Christopher and the other four children .
According to the Hallaton registers there were at least 3 other sons Thomas, John and Henry, but they aren't mentioned in the will so may have died early. (I think I found the will in Leics/Rutland CRO).
Best wishes, Arjem

Thanks Arjem, Yes that will of Leonard Stevenson's 1830 contains the clear statement that Christopher is his son: and Esther (Day) is Leonard's wife: and this is the same Christopher Stevenson.
The question then is:
Is this Leonard Stevenson the son of Thomas Stevenson and Mary Kilburn, born 19 May 1757 - as most people with Ancestry trees seem to assume:
OR is he Leonard Stevenson, son of Leonard (Innholder) and Jane of Hallaton, as named 'my only son and heir' in their Leics Archdeaconry wills of 1764 (Leonard bap 26 Dec 1749, brother of Allen, bap 11 Feb 1755 who presumably decd. as not named).
Probably Thomas and Mary, but is there any confirmation of that?
Christopher Stevenson of Hallaton, youngest son of Leonard Stevenson and Esther Day, married Lucy Waddington at Medbourne 1815. Lucy Waddington was daughter of John Waddington, cooper, and his wife Lydia Gibbins of Medbourne, who m there 9 Oct 1792.

Thanks Mercian for your e-mail.
Allen, s/o Innkeepers Len and Jane was buried 3/3/1762 (Hallaton PRs). As for the parents of Leonard who made the will: I go for Thomas and Mary. See National Burial Index: 4 November 1830 Leonard Stevenson age 73 buried at Hallaton, St Michael & All Angels. This means he would have been born c1757.
Best wishes

Good thinking Arjem. I will accept that as a final deduction pending the discovery of any new Leonards of that date!!! Leonard and Esther are my gggg grandparents on the Stevenson side, and I will put Thos and Mary in in permanent ink for the next generation back. I know they have quite a string of children. I see there are various entries for Stevensons at Hallaton before that, including some 17th century Leonards, but Has anyone traced a definite father for Thomas? Wills seem a bit short. There aren't any Stevenson MIs at Hallaton other than Christopher and Lucy, and that Henry who is of another branch of Stevensons altogether - but no early ones. I was there today rejoicing in all the Gibbinses and what I think are two separate families of Wards. Maybe they had those sandstone headstones which are all worn flat. :(
