Post by: joenix on Tuesday 23 September 14 12:41 BST (UK)
Hi,
are any of the above to be found on CD's for sale/look ups for the areas of Somerby, Borough-on-the-Hill, Knossington, Pickwell, Melton Mowbray and (a bit out of the way) Husbands Bosworth? Preferably up to about 1740.
Thanks
Sarah

Thank you. I think I'll have to make  a visit. I'm not being too specific and am just looking at what Knapps are in the area at the time.

Not one of the parishes you mention but less than 2 miles from Burrough on the Hill, I have an Ellen Knapp, widow, buried 31 Dec 1727, Twyford. No other details.

Added: Looking again, there are a few more with the spelling Knap in Twyford.  Let me know if you want them.

Twyford is definitely in the nearby area of Burrough Hill etc. I would love to see the names and dates when you have the time,
Thank you
