Leicestershire records office have the following that may be of help:

LEICESTER CORPORATION SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT RECORDS:

Leicester Poor Law Union Records:
Register of children committed to blind & industrial schools, 1874-1949

Leicester Corporation Records:
Receiving & Scattered Homes, 1906-1949.
Miscellaneous, nd. 1910-1914.

I have an index for the Receiving Home Admissions - his surname wasn't Smith by any chance was it?

Leicestershire / The Boys Home, Leicester - Help finding records
« on: Friday 15 April 16 11:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Has anyone every come across The Boys Home, Stoneygate Grove, Avenue Road Leicester records for adults staying there rather than children?

My disappearing great grandmother gave this as her address in December 1912 and when i enquired with the children society they had no file for my grandpa, who should of been with her at the time. I do wonder if she came there with a new child (as she had come from a maternity home in London) but after this address she next appears in Blackpool!

and she had left my grandpa with a lady in Leicester.. no idea if this was an adoption or more likely just an arrangement... she never came back for him :(

Any help would be gratefully accepted :)

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Birth record for Jeremiah ARNOLD Isle of wight pls
« on: Wednesday 13 May 15 21:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I'm struggling to find a birth record for Jeremiah Arnold

It would be around 1778 as his death record puts him aged 46 in 1824 in Newchurch

His marriage also states he is from Newchurch but I can't find anything relating to his birth/christening/baptism

Any help would be gratefully received

Rachel :)

thanks dawn for replying...

I hope this file isn't too big... I'm sure some of you are aware Dad was also very into his scouting and had not long received his 30 year service award!,  hence him in uniform :)

Hi all or Greetings folks (think I'm allowed to use that)

Thank you so much your lovely comments and memories ... I've got such massive comfort in the last week from your posts and am so very proud of my Dad ... Always there to help whenever anybody needed him.

I know a few RC members and other researchers are based in leicester and myself and my siblings would welcome any of you to attend dad's funeral. The church service will be on the 24th February at Trinity Methodist Church (Narborough rd) at 11am followed by his cremation at Gilrose at 12pm. We will then go back to trinity for his "Bun Fight" as he always called it for 1pm.

Please feel free to pass this info on to anyone I may of missed and thanks also for posting on other forums that dad was a member.

Hi

It is my very sad duty to let you all know that my dad "mike from Leicester" passed away suddenly last Friday.

I'm sure over the years he has helped a great number of you and that was my dad... He loved to help with any problem and I know tracing family's brought him a lot of joy.

He will be missed more than would of ever realised and touched on so many peoples lives

Sleep now dad xxx with al my love always  Rachel xxx
