Judy, please be aware the Leicester record office has been closed for Stock taking (info from 'Mike of leicester'). don't know when reopens - maybe worth phoning first.

Hi Mike ad Diddy

I have been to Leicester Records Office but didn't get any further information unfortunately. Thanks for the data re opening etc. I intend to revisit when I return home. It would be interesting to find out the parents of this William Sketchley (who was transported). There may well be a connection to my William Sketchley.

Possible Marriage of the above  William & Harriett.

St Peter’s Parish Church. Tilton-on –the – Hill. Leicestershire.


William Sketchley. ~ Harriett CLARKE.

By Banns.

Just a thought……. :-\
I see that the place of birth for William was ORTON –on – the – Hill
On the Census returns…….

Seeing the Marriage was in TILTON – on – the -  Hill.

I just wonder if the enumerator miss heard it and put
ORTON – on – the – Hill.
Instead of HOUGHTON – on - the – Hill
Which is only 4 miles South West of Tilton - on - the - Hill….
Just a thought. ......

Hi Mike

Thanks for looking up the details of the Sketchleys.

Could you push mine a little further back too please if possible.

If  you refer to the first entry on this forum you will see the details I have for my William Sketchley who married a Mary ? and there are 2 others mentioned on the census in Nottingham, Timothy and Sarah (my gtx2 grandmother). Not sure if this is 1841 or 1851.
