Hello
I'm not sure if anyone can provide me with any help in identifying a church or district from a GRO Reference.
I have found the following GRO references and had a brief opportunity to look for the marriage entries at the registry office - although could not find the entries. Obviously i am trying to avoid paying £7.00 for Certificates and therefore wondered if anyone with local knowledge or other resources could help me locate the entry details in order that i may look them up?
Marriages - Hinckley
John Edwards Webster and Mary Ann Truslove - HINCKLEY JUN Q 1877
Thomas Alsop and Elizabeth Allen - HINCKLEY DEC Q 1871
Thomas Payne and Mary Ann Peat - HINCKLEY DEC Q 1872
William Payne and Elizabeth Barnes - HINCKLEY DEC Q 1878
Henry Martin and Eliza Roberts - HINCKLEY JUN Q 1857
William Payne and Mary Ann Bailey - HINCKLEY DEC Q 1863
John Burton and Hannah Clay - HINCKLEY JUN Q 1874
Henry Wood and Gertrude Elizabeth Whittley - HINCKLEY SEP Q 1904
Frederick Payne and Ada Lois Marshall - HINCKLEY DEC Q 1927
I have skimmed through St Mary's Hinckley and also St Catherines Burbage but could not immediately see any of these. I know that the HINCKLEY registration area covers a number of towns and villages, as well as alternative churches, and therefore would be grateful if anyone could point me to the right Church or area so that i may look the entries up without the need for ordering Certificates?
Thanks in advance

Hi TB
Are you able to find any of the couples on the nearest censuses
which may show the area they were living in and narrow down the
church or area at all.
Sandy

Yes - most of them suggest Hinckley or Burbage - that is why im surprised i cannot find the marriage entries!

Greeting’s again. ……… True Brit.
The only one I can CONFIRM :~
Henry Wood. ~ Gertrude Elizabeth Whittley.
1st. August. 1904.
St: Catherine Parish Church.
BURBAGE.
By Banns.
Parents :~
G. = William Wood.
B. = John Power Whittley.
Although your other names did not showed up
CLOSEST :~
PAYNE.
1895.
William Edwin ~ Mary ALSOP….BURBAGE. :~ Father THOMAS Payne.
ALSOP.
1879.
Richard ~ Ann BASSETT………BURBAGE……Father. :~ John.
So. ...Seems like Burbage is the venue to explore ?
MIKE.

Thanks for looking up those.
Seems i might have to order some certificates as whilst i may have missed some in my Burbage review there weren't a huge number of entries each year to have missed.
The first entry seems correct and i will look that up again.
Thanks
TB

Ummm ? ...... :-\
Would you like to recheck your :~

You are indeed correct.
I had mixed my marriage dates round.
William Payne married twice. First to Mary Ann Bailey in Jun 1845 and then to Mary Norton in Dec 1863. Both in Hinckley district! From looking again i think that the Webster, Payne, Wood amnd Alsop marriages are probably Burbage (although i could not immediately find these in the Parish Records!). I think the Burton one is probably the Wesleyan Chapel in Hinckley and the Martin one i am not sure of although would imagine its a church in Hinckley.
Thanks again for everyones help.

The CofE churches in Hinckley Registration District that licensed for marriages were:
Aston Flamville
Burbage
Burton Hastings
Sapcote
Sharnford
Stoney Stanton
Higham-on-the-Hill
Hinckley
Hinckley Trinity
Stoke Golding
Barwell
Elmsthorpe
Earl Shilton
There were also 2 Baptist chapels, 5 Wesleyan and one each of Catholic, Presbyterian, Independent and Congregational chapels, all of whose marriages up to 1898 would be recorded in the registers of one of the Registrars of Marriage, held at the Register Office.
This list is from 1878, so there it may not be accurate for all the dates you mention, but it should be close enough to give you a general idea.
Does this help?
Good luck anyway.

I'm so pleased I happened across this post, as I haven't bene on RC for a couple of months.
This could be my family, the Payne side of my family are form Hinckley, and the Hurst side from Stoke Golding. However there are so many different branches of Paynes in the Hinckley area and freuently with the same first names, it's hard to tell.
The furthest back I have at this point is James Payne (17??) married to Rachel Lamb (?).
I am descended from their son James Payne (1782-1844) who married Ann Wood (1781-1866) in Hinckley, we think in 1803.
I have attached a copy of a family tree that was drawn up by a family member some years ago in Hinckley. We did some research last year on the tree, since there is often little information, and managed to confirm most of it using online resources, which of course were not available when it was drawn up, presumably using family bibles and parish records.
Hope this helps. I do have more details on many people on the tree, but as yet not online in my database. It would be nice to find a connection wouldn't it. So far I have not been able to find any relatives from other parts of the tree.

Thanks for your note Tony.
I will study your chart over the weekend to see if there is a fit.
Kind regards
TB

Hello Tony
I have reviewed your family tree and cannot see an instant connection unfortunately! A shame really as i have two branches of the Payne family (unrelated at present although struggling to go back past the 19th century with any certainty!).
Thanks for your response though - so many Paynes....

Have you tried the Guild of One Name Studies website. Truslove is a name being researched by a GOONS member - who may be able to help with that one
Heathers

Thanks Heathers.
I have contacted the appropriate person and they sound as if they may be able to help me. Many thanks for the 'heads up'

I am doing an index for Hinckley Marriages at present
email me with the list of the ones you still haven't got at
secretary@lrfhs.org.uk
Are you related to a truslove?
Regards Joan R
-
Thanks Joan
I have all of these now - having had to resort to certificates!
You were good enough to send me some info on the Trusloves a few months ago (One Name Studies) which greatly assisted my research.

Can anyone please tell me about William Payne in the 1841 Census. It is evident he married twice and possibly to a widow Ekizabeth Cowdell as the 1841 census for Hinckley, Leicestershire lists the following:
William Payne 40 Stocking Maker
Elizabeth Payne 35
James Cowdell 15
George Payne 12
William Payne 8
Thomas Payne 4
Sarah Payne 1
I am related to the Holt family from Hinckley and the Payne name appears to be linked to them also - can anyone please help me?
Regards Joanne
