Hi

Many thanks for your help, i was hoping the record would have more info, but never mind.
Do you have access to St Margarets baptisms, I am looking for children of James and Alice Roberts born between 1837 and 1850 in Leicester, James was a Frame Work Knitter. 
I think the marriage in 1836 is for this couple but not sure why the name of Harrison was added on to James's surname

Hi Mike

You are a STAR, thank you so much for the info, you have given me two children i didn't know they had, Jane and Emma.  Isaac and Joseph were twins born in 1844, they had another child Sarah Ann as well born around 1840. They seemed to move around Leicester quite a bit.  I have Isaac's birth certificate it says they were living in Olive Hill any idea exactly where that was?

[Mike from Leicester]

Sorry ……
I’ve now checked out the Seven main Church Baptism Registers of the time
In names Harrison / Roberts
But apart from this one possibility nothing found for Sarah Ann.:~

St: Martin’s Parish Church. Leicester.
1854.
Sarah Ann Harrison. Parents names NOT GIVEN Bapt. 11th. April

Re Olive Hill ........Does not ring any bells with me
But there is a Olive Street.
Runs North to South……… Elbow Lane to Long Lane

To the South of Sanvy-gate. Within the Parish of All Saints

Hi Mike

Don't suppose you have any burial record info from Leicester churches, I think James Roberts (born 1808 in Bedworth) died between 1861 and 1881 but cannot seem to tie anything up on Free BMD, Alice i think also died before 1881 and son Isaac disappeared after 1865, he was in the army but was discharged in 1865 in Canada stating he was returning back to Leicester but cannot find any trace of him, sorry if i am a nuisance.

Greeting’s again ..Gene Genie.

Although I can see burials in Welford Road Cemetery 
In the Christian names of Roberts you have asked for
Unfortunately they are all spread about and not in the same plot.
So not sure enough to say, for sure these are the ones you are seeking. ……..

One raises interest though for Alice Roberts
Within the same plot No’. U.A. 156 we have TWO Alice’s
1887 aged 64.
1903 Aged 47.
Also one Henry WEST. 1889. Aged. 21.
West being the maiden name of your Alice
But the male within this plot was a Joseph Roberts 

And in the next plot there are 6 people named HARRIS.
