Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Can anyone find Isaac Wormleighton?
« on: Friday 13 April 12 14:11 BST (UK)  »
hello woodsman,
I am still looking for any information regarding Isaac wormleighton. I am a descendant of his son Edward. He is a man I can find very little about, apart from what can be gleamed from his death certificate and 2 census entries. I know his father was william wormleighton but it is his earlier life I am interested in. Do you have any earlier info ?
Regards Whizzy.

Leicestershire / Re: Burial at Narborough

Thanks Spatts,

I already have the death certificate for George, I am just trying to find out where he was buried. Whether it was where he died or where he buried his wife Elizabeth.

But I have my doubts that heaving a coffin back from Narborough to Ashley village (the far side of market Harborough) near christmas in 1899 would be practical. But stranger things have happened.  ::)

Thanks Whizzy

Leicestershire / Burial at Narborough
« on: Thursday 13 January 11 05:32 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to find a burial record for a George Potterton who died in Narborough RD (which I assume is near to or in Narborough village) on 23rd December 1899 aged 75 years.

Now his daughter Jane Toseland lived in Narborough village which explains why he was there, but his wife was buried in the village where he originates from. So he could either have been buried in Narborough or returned to Ashley (Northants) to be reunited with his wife.

So I can either rule out Narborough please could someone take a look for me. As I know Jane and her husband Jacob were buried in Narborough churchyard so the family did have a plot there .... is that where George is ?  ???

Thanks in advance

Thank you seahall, I am actually 'over the border' in leicestershire so not too far away.  I will try as you suggested and see what happens following your links. These are a elousive family although, I have picked up a burial for George's wife Elizabeth in Ashley, For George's father John in Ashley, George's baptism in Ashley and George's son John 1st marriage in Ashley, all at the parish church.

Oh well back to hunting for the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Thank you everyone for taking the time too look for me. The Potterton's were definatly were from Ashley. So I think the next stop will be contacting the vicar and seeing if they still have the originals.

Once again. Thanks. :-*

Northamptonshire / The Potterton's of Ashley
« on: Sunday 09 January 11 06:44 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking at the Potterton family which originate from the Wilbarston / Ashley area. In particular I am having trouble finding the baptism' s for the children of George and Elizabeth Potterton, Nee Meakins.

The children are John b1843, William b1845, Mary Ann b1847, Jane b1849, George b 1852, Isaab b1853, Joseph b1858 and Emma b1860. All the family have connections with the parish church with either marriages or burials but I just can't seem to find these baptisms, despite a trip to the records office. Mind you there did seem to be quite a few fiche missing.

If any one could help shed some light I would be grateful.

Wow folks that has given me a bit to work on. It is a bit surprising to find a Joseph that was transported, from what I can decipher from the writing it seems to mention a cousin as well, so I assume that means that 2 Wormleighton bad boys were deported ? I had better look further into that.

Leicestershire / What happened to Samuel Wormleighton ?
« on: Tuesday 04 January 11 05:49 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to trace what happened to a Samuel Wormleighton born in 1805 in Enderby. He married a Phoebe Yeomans in Enderby on the 26th December 1824. He is listed in the 1841 cenus as living in Fleet Street, St Margarets with his wife and children Eliza b1829, Mary Ann b1830 and Joseph b1831. He is a framework knitter. After this I cannot trace him or his family. Could anyone else shed some light onto this please.
Many thanks
Whizzy
