LORD, William & Joseph 1861

[lord1234]

I wonder if anyone can help me track down part of the Lord family from Leicester who are stray in 1861.

I have a William Lord, Shoemaker / cordwainer b1803 approx (not sure where, but shows as NOT born in Leicestershire in 1841), believed to be buried in Leicester 1863.
He is also missing from the 1851 Leicestershire transcript.

His son Joseph Lord, also a shoemaker b 1832 is missing from the 1861 index in Leicestershire, he would have a wife Mary b 1835 and a son George b1860.

Hoping someone can help

Thank you very much Casalguidi,

Just the elusive William to find! if indeed he was alive in 1851/61.

Thanks once again

Hi Tom

I also have some Lord family from Leicester who were also shoemakers.  My great (x4) grandfather was Joseph Lord (b 1821).  His father was John Lord and he was married (1842) to Ann Wright (b 1822).  When he was 20, he was apprenticing under a William Lord (b 1806).   I don't know if William is an older brother or perhaps an uncle.

After 1861 there is no sign of Joseph or Ann.  I do believe they both died in the 1860's as I did find all three of their daughters in a workhouse in 1871.

Anyway it would be interesting to see if we may have a connection somewhere.  Please let me know.

Hi Kristine,

Thanks for your post.

I have this family (I think) although I have not been able to link them into my tree.

I think that the William Lord b1806 may be my GGG Grandfather and I enclose a link to William on RootsWeb:

Let me know what you think

Kind regards

Yes this was the William Lord that Joseph was an apprentice to.  I think it is a good possibility now that William was Joseph's uncle since you do have a John Lord listed as one of William's brothers.
