Leicester St Margarets Look Up

[GeneGenie]

Hi Mike

Once again many thanks for your help.  I am not sure that these burials are connected to my Roberts family although the West connection is interesting.  I will have to do some more research before i can say definitely if they are.

Thanks for taking the time to help

Hi Mike
I have seen your helpful reply to the St Margarets, Leicester records enquiry and wondered if I might ask you a similar question.
I am researching the Ellicock family from St Margarets and although the IGI is very useful it doesn't carry any information for the period I need.
I am back to Samuel Ellicock 1823 and his family and I would like to get back further from there. The only entry on the IGI which may be connected is a marriage for Samuel Ellicock and Maria Yesson in 1817 at St Margarets which may be the parents of Samuel 1823.
Is there any information regarding the Ellicocks you have which might help me?
Thank you.

Greeting’s Bill & Welcome to the Leicestershire Boards……….
I’m not sure you have the estimated year of birth for Samuel right ? ……..

The only Samuel Ellicock  Son of Samuel & Maria I can find is as follows :~ ….

St: Margaret’s Parish Church Leicester,

1842.
Baptism Register Entry No’. 980.
25th December.
Samuel. Son of Samuel & Maria Ellicock.
Abode within St: Margaret’s Parish.
Fathers occupation Frame Work Knitter. 

Which doesn’t match your 1823 ……

Other Baptisms with Samuel ~ Maria as Parents :~

1834.Priscilla. 27th. August.
1840. Selina. 15th. July
1842. Samuel. 25th. December.
Samuel & Maria must have been very young for that 1817 marriage……..

Maria’s Burial details :~
St Margaret’s Parish Church.
1852.

Maria Ellicock
Of Leicester.
21st. February
Aged. 52.
Which matches the 1851 census returns for ages

Hi Mike

It was very nice of you to take the trouble to look into this for me, as usual Genealogy is crammed with misleading and conflicting records and I seem to be smack in the middle of one of those situations.

On the 1851 census I have William Ellicock 1842/3, this is the line I am tracing, with parents Samuel 1823 and Jane 1824. The only marriage on BMD is Samuel Ellicock and Jane Spriggs 1841, Leicester, which ties in perfectly.

As for the parents of Samuel 1823 the only marriage I could find on the IGI, St Margarets was Samuel Ellicock and Maria Yesson in 1817, I'm not suggesting this is in fact the correct parents to Samuel Ellicock 1823 it just happens to be the only one I can find.

Thanks again.

Greeting’s Again Bill. …….

Full transcription for the Samuel Ellicock ~ Jane Spriggs Marriage 1841.:~

St: Margaret’s Parish Church. Leicester.

Entry No. 61,  March 20th., 1841, after Banns

SAMUEL ELLICOCK, minor, Bachelor. Frame Work Knitter, of SANDACRE Street,
 Son of WILLM. ELLICOCK,.... Frame Work Knitter
 
JANE SPRIGGS, minor, Spinster. Frame Work Knitter, of SANVEY GATE,
Daughter. of ROBERT SPRIGGS, Frame Work Knitter
 
Wits: JOHN COLLINS, ALICE STANYON

Therefore going on the details of above …..this Samuel would match for the Samuel baptism 1823…….
So. …It’s a William that is the  father of that Samuel  bc 1823

That’s why his status is that of a Minor ( Under the age of consent )
