Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Burials St. Mary Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire
« on: Sunday 20 May 12 12:40 BST (UK) »
Hi Birchwod,
Am I correct in assuming that all burial remains prior to 1846 at St. Mary are still in the church grounds? On my short visit it was terrible weather so did not manage to see Staveley Lodge, I have a picture of it, my other research was trying to find any info on my Gt Gt grandfather John Law who was a solicitor, Clerk to The Magistrates and Surveyor of Taxes in Melton, I went to the Library and Museum, they were so very helpful, but no info, I was trying to trace his origins, the England Law Society does not record his name, I contacted the Scottish Law Society, all their records prior to 1880 were destroyed in a fire, my mother said we had Scottish ancestry, I have done all branches of my family tree, none are Scottish so he appears to be Scottish, you may be interested to know, my Gt Gt uncle was Edward Adcock who in 1831 was reputed to be an originator of the name Melton Mowbray pork pie. I have family connections with Egerton Lodge, Melton Lodge, North Lodge, Sysonby Lodge, Wycliffe House, the Adcock family were Brewers in Melton and Wissendine.
Thank you for your kindness John
