I think this site will be very appreciated by many.  Thanks for sharing it.  Would you know if they are working on the other records like burials etc?
I guess you and Mike may be out of a job!

Thanks again

Hi Suzy W
I have family connections - still searching before hopefully a visit, in Leics, and found the www.leicestershirevillages.com an excellent site, with some very useful information regarding the village of Packington.  Type in your village in the bottom right box and see what comes up.  I found someone's very hard work in an excel spreadsheet of all marriages and christenings for Breedon on the Hill.  A few answers in there that helped save time when I do manage to get to the records office, or the Library which holds almost all the details within the area I am interested in.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if there were other angels like this in other areas??
Hope you find it of interest

I have been a member of Leicestershire Villages for some time.  A few old postings on there regarding my Tew family in Leire.   And I was lucky enough to find a man living in Canada who was a relation.   Sadly no links to parish records for Leire, that is why I pest "Mike from Leicester" all the time      
I hope I do not out welcome my stay Mike? 

Anyway still no sign of Sarah's marriage or her brothers, how very odd.

Regards
Suzy W

Re the Hamlet of Little Wigston ( Wigston Parva. )
Do not confuse this with the Wigston you may know already.
Wigston Parva lies on the Border of Leicestershire / Warwickshire
Close to the main A5 Truck Road.

Sadly that is not her, she would of been 16 years old in 1815.  Then I thought maybe her Aunt Sarah born 1781 Lerie, but no she was 34 in 1815 not 25 plus I think this Sarah stayed a spinster.
A bit of a puzzle isn't she?  Then again the whole family on this side are proving to be a mission.

Thanks again Mike.
