well when i say work - I've been building boats out of tubs with the 5 year olds and floating them in water to see if they sink.....

which names/census are you looking at. quite often get discrepencies (wow word! for 5 year olds!) in ages in census.

Hope you don't teach spelling to children as there may be a few discrepancies.
Me a pedant?!!  Never!!

The differences arise between 1871 & 1881. If you check parents' ages, they've only aged 5 years in 10. Also, some childrens' initials have changed, although this could be a transcription error.

thats why its a WOW word - difficult for them to say let alone spell!!

I'm clocking off now - will leave you to ponder the Discrepancies!!

Greeting’s Again……..John.

Whilst I was at the Records Office today …………

Spotted the Wills of both Charles & Eliza Blackwell of Diseworth.

Have you already got the details of these Wills ?

MIKE ……… 

[John Blackwell]

Thanks Mike.
No. Didn't even know they had wills!
Spent this morning at the library going round in circles and still haven't found when or where Eliza died, so any info, such as a will,  would be welcome.

Greeting’s John.

According to her will dated 7th. July.1909. Ammended date
she was still at the family  Farm. Diseworth

Probate granted 31st January 1926.
So we look for a death 1st Quarter 1926.

MIKE……

[John Blackwell]

Shouldn't that be 1909?
If probate was granted then, was it that quick? Should I not consider year before?
Have checked burials for Diseworth, but only up to 1907 so far.

[Mike from Leicester]
