The Common Room / Re: At what age do our infant memory commence?
« on: Friday 13 December 24 17:49 GMT (UK) »
Aged 2, I remember moving house, and the car we left in (my grandfather's, as we didn't have one), and later the same year my mother bringing home my baby brother from maternity hospital.
First few weeks at school, a little girl asking me why I wrote/drew with my left hand - I didn't, she was sitting opposite me!

Happy New Year all,
On Christmas Day 1843, there were 15 couples who married in St Margaret's, Leicester, among them my 3x great grandparents.
Not necessarily all at the same time, I suppose, but one wonders whether there was a queue down the aisle!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help needed with abbreviation in burial records
« on: Tuesday 21 February 23 21:23 GMT (UK) »
How about nob being an abbreviation for nobis - Latin of/ by us, or something similar? Perhaps of this parish?
But then, I would guess that most people buried there at the time would have been locals, so why is nob only mentioned on a few burials?
But maybe an idea?

Could it be "nob" for "nobilis"? Were the people gentry? Again, this is just a guess, I'm afraid.

That certainly looks a good possibility. And not too far from where he married.
Many thanks for your help.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Somewhere in Derbyshire?
« on: Sunday 27 March 22 17:22 BST (UK) »
Hi, this marriage from 1603 is in Horsley, Derbyshire. I think the bride Helena is from Horsley.
But can anyone decipher where the groom might be from, please? It doesn't look t0 me like Horsley, and my maps aren't giving any clues.
Thanks.

Could there perhaps be two Stanfords?
I have only found one baptism, but there are many details not yet found.
The marriage licence with Jane does not state whether Stanford is a widower or not, and I have not seen the imagethe image. The page in the register does not seem to exist (online). Or does it? (I have not been to the Record Office because of the pandemic).
