Thanks, Rhonda for your kind offer.  I will contact him when I am able, and ask him.  It may be a little while before I get back to it as I have to travel away for a funeral.

I am trying to help my brother with his tree which he has put on familysearch.  Basically he has an extra generation appearing, which if we could delete, he would have it right.  Another option would be to work backwards and delete the extra generation that way, but you dont seem to be able to do that.  An interesting complication is the extra generation has the sister of the bloke Thomas, down as marrying his wife Jane!  I am new to the site but I have got it correct on mine, but what appears on his is all wrong.  This is one huge headache, so if anyone has any expert advice, I would be very appreciative.

Yes, I have just come across this and it would be great if the names could be printed out, as they are a bit hard to read otherwise.

The newspaper archives report the death of "Mr Bestland",  in the Sat 23rd Dec 1837 issue of Leicestershire newspapers.  He is described as being of Brentingby, and of advanced years. 

If anyone happens to have access to the appropriate death records I am interested to know what his christian name was, or any other particulars.

Many thanks.

Thanks heaps, Mike.  Actually, I am surprised they didn't get a worse sentence.  I am not sure I like to have this fellow in my family tree.  I don't think I would have liked to have met him on a dark night!  Perhaps he is lucky that transportation had ended by this time.
