Title: Can anyone check CD ROMS of Leicester/Rutland stray marriages, please?
Post by: joenix on Saturday 01 June 13 19:38 BST (UK)
Hello, would anyone be able to check the above CD for appearances of the Knapp/Knap/Napp family from as early as possible up to 1775? I am trying to find a family move from Leicester to Northants or vice versa. Thank you. Sarah

Nothing for NAPP but 15 other marriages, anyone particular or area you are looking for?

Nothing within the city....only looked for males with the surname

Sorry about the colour!
And thank you for the information. I´m starting to get a quite good picture of the 18th century Knapps in the area. I should have said Leicestershire instead of Leicester, as my family are from the border with Northamptonshire/Rutland (in the direction of Uppingham and Corby). I also only bother with males at the moment. But there are also some possible family members in the Burrough on the Hill/Knossington area. Having found some non-stray Phillimore´s listings of Leicester on archive.org it seems our Northants Knapps will end up having Leicestershire ancestors.
Thank you both for your quick replies.
Sarah

I have some Knapps as my ancestors, from the Stathern/Eaton/Eastwell area. I also have them travelling to Kibworth to either marry or act as witnesses at other Knapps' marriages. This was in the 1820s to 1870s, so it was quite a distance on foot, horseback or by train if they had the money. However, I have checked both the churchyard and cemetery at Kibworth (Beauchamp I think) and there are none at all, or least none in marked graves that I could see.
