I wonder if some kind person could shed some light on this problem I have. I am trying to find the baptism of my gr.gr.gr grandfather Isaac Wormleighton, he was born in 1825 or thereabouts in Enderby. His father was stated on his marriage certificate as being William and being deceased in 1844. Now the only Williams in Enderby area I can find are either slightly too old or slightly too young. Looking in the IGI didn't help much either. If someone could shed a little light I would be extremely grateful.

Hi :D
On the IGI there are christenings for the following children of William & Elizabeth Wormleighton(sic)
Eliza WORMLIGHTON 13 JAN 1833 Enderby
Samuel WOOMLEIGHTON 15 SEP 1834 Enderby
Mary WORMLIGHTON 16 MAR 1836 Enderby
Eliza Wormleighton 06 AUG 1843 Enderby
No mention of Isaac though :-\- where have you got the details of age - Is it from the census ? If so, post as many details as possible as to where you found him and who was with,
Cheers :-*

Thanks to everyone who is helping me,
Yes as Mike correctly assumed I based Isaac's birthplace on the 1851 census, but took it very loosely. His year of birth is approx 1825 as it matches the age on his marriage certificate in 1844 and his death certificate in 1852.
I am curious to the suggestions made by Mike regarding the independant church in Narborough on the post I put on lookups section. This is a possible avenue of exploration as I cannot find any of Isaac's childrens baptism either. Also Isaac and Hannah didn't have a religious marriage ceremony, so this could be a possible reason.
Could anyone possibl suggest whether there was a methodist / baptist chapel in the vicinity of Fleet street.
Many thanks

Greeting’s Again Whizzy…..
The closest Methodist Chapel to Fleet Street
I can think of is that of George Street./ Bedford Street.
Aprox. six streets apart from Fleet Street.
Which I understand had strong connections with Enderby.

Hi Mike
Wow it looks like I need a good look at the methodist records at Wigston. If the chapel had good connections with Enderby it could explain why Isaac came to Leicester (ie under guardian guidence)as he would only have been in his teens when he came.
I will let you know if I find anything out.
Thanks Abi

If you go to the Search Room No. 2. at the Records Office
The Index folders for Leicester Nonconformists are on the shelves to your right
Find George Street then year. This will give you either the Fiche Ref. No.
or the Micro Film No. ( Readers back in Search Room No. 1.)
But you still need to trawl through they are not always in year/Date order
or Chapel order.

Hi Whizzy.
Isaac Wormleighton and Hannah Foster. They married at Leicester Register Office 14 Mar 1844. Isaac 19 Hannah 18. Fathers William & Edward both Framework Knitters.
Isaac was the youngest child of William & Sarah Spence. They had 10 children altogether. Most of them were Baptised at the Independent Chapel Narborough. I have not been able to find a baptism of Isaac. In the 1861 Census Hannah had a lodger, George Mackness who was down as a Wormleighton but I believe he was a son of the lodger as Isaac died in 1852. Altogether I think Hannah and George Mackness had 4 children, not all survived.
Isaac's father William was an apprentice living at Earl Shilton learning to be a Framework Knitter. His father had arranged his Indenture. Unfortunately I don't know the fathers name but there was a baptism of a William Wormleighton at the Independent Chapel Lutterworth 28 Dec 1779 his father named as Joseph and living at Little Ashby.
I hope this helps
