Thanks Mike, these Foulds are driving me to dispair - Elizabeth Smith was James Smith's sister, apparently the Foulds appear quite a bit in my family tree on the Smith side and the Goadby side.  There are also a large amount of Foulds in Leicester who have a possible connection with the ones in Newtown Linford.  I did find a marriage for a William Foulds in Leicester.  He married Ellen Bland in 1900 (again another name in my family tree - James's daughter, Sarah married John Bland after her 1st husband, William Goadby's death).

Apparently, the William Foulds that was born in 1877 was born in Thornton Lane, Newtown Linford on 19th January, 1877.

I'm still chasing James Smith and have been trying to find old photos of Newtown Linford - I would love to find one of Cork Hall if one exists.  Thanks again Mike, your help is appreciated very much.

Take care, Wendy  :)
