Hi,
Please can somebody help me I am slightly confused.com!
I have the L&RFHS Leicester & Leicestershire Marriage Index 1801-1837 CD and on it have found George Arnold married Jane Southam 1816 in Bruntingthorpe. So off I troop to the LRO to have a look at the Microfiche and to my surprise they are not there or in Claybrook/Ullesthorpe!!
How odd! George was born in Ullesthorpe and Jane in Clifton Upon Dunsmore, Warwickshire but the CD definitely says 1816 Brt = Bruntingthorpe.
Am I being a bit thick or very short sighted? please can you help by telling me which? ;D
Many thanks

I have 3 children in Bruntingthorpe for George but no Marriage

Thank you for looking, I'm guessing that's Thomas, Aminda and William?
Back to the drawing board............wonder where/if they married and wonder why the CD said Bruntingthorpe? :o

Hi there,
If you are looking for George Arnold, son of The Benedict Arnold,
I wonder if BRT stands for somewhere in India, or is an abbreviation of a military term? He was stationed in India and had first a native wife, then married an english woman.
Hope this helps!
