Title: Little Glen in Leicestershire
Post by: gena47 on Tuesday 27 October 15 13:30 GMT (UK)

Hi can anyone let me know where Little Glen is in Leicestershire.   


my 5gg father Joseph Clark born 14 Feb 1730 to Widow Clark in Blably. Wondered why Blaby but it is only 2 miles from Aylestone. Looked through the Aylestone and saw John Clark bur 4/11/1729 from Little Glen.

Further back I have John Clark from Little Glen married Elizabeth Morton from Blaby 2 may 1720.

Can see no children in Either Blaby or Aylestone for John and Elizabeth but can find 4 children in Willoughby to John and Elizabeth between 1723 - 1727 .  No marriage there for them in Willoughby  they just pop up

aka Glen Parva! ;D

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Parva


GenUKI (http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LEI/GlenParva/index.html) says: look under Aylestone, as the parish wasn't created until 1866.

Lived in Glen Parva for years and never knew it was originally called Little Glen.
Learn something everyday.
