Hi There

I'm hoping someone can please do a lookup in the Hinckley, Leicestershire Births & Baptisms for children born to John Turner & Hannah Dawson who married 31 Dec 1805.

Appreciate your help with this.

Kind Regards

Thanks for your help Mike  :)

Was hoping there'd be a William born c1808.....John & Hannah certainly waited a while to have children.  Are there any other churches in Hinckley they may have used for baptisms?

I know I sound very vague....I'm trying to find the parents and if possible the siblings for William Turner b.1808, supposedly in St Margarets Leicester, occupation Wool Comber in 1824 according to his Military Attestation, also fathers name John and mothers name unknown on marriage record on Family Search but I already posted a request here for lookups in St Margarets Leicester and no William Turners but a reply to my posting had a marriage for John Turner & Hannah Dawson.  There was mention of Hinckley by a contact but have also been told that the Turner family I'm looking for were a known family in the Leicester area and had been for many years....all heresay at this stage.

Appreciate any help you can offer  ???

Kind Regards

Tracy

Would it be possible to check a marriage for me in [probably] Hinckley. William Lean Bowes married Mary E. Pratt,  8 October 1919. His Australian Army Service Records give date of marriage and bride and groom but no place of the marriage is given. Mary E. Pratt probably daughter of a Hinckley Publican.

Daughter Bessie D. Bowes born 1921 possibly Hinckley.

Last "sighting" of William Lean Bowes was in Somerset, 1930, when he was charged with indecently attacking a woman.

Many thanks for what you could find for me however something is going on which is very strange. If William Lean Bowes has a "wife change" he does have a child (on Free BMD) Bessie D. Bowes registered Hinckley, June Quarter, 1921. Mother's maiden name PRATT which is his "first wife's" maiden name.

According to the Parish Records of Haltwhistle, Northumberland, William Lean Bowes was born 15 February 1892 and baptized 16 March 1892. That is a very minor discrepancy and nothing to worry about.

William Bowes of "Midons Gley" was born Medmomsley, County Durham. The family seemed fairly well off. Ruth N(ewton) Bowes aged 6 months on the 1901 Census married Horace Kenneth Kennedy-Skipton of minor Irish nobility. They married at Mountsorrel, Leicestershire, 1918. Ruth Newton K-S died Dublin, Ireland, 1992.

William Lean Bowes did marry Lillian Pratt in Hinckley. William was living in Mountsorrel (Barrow upon Soar Registration District) and Lillian was living at her father's Public House, Crown and Anchor, Castle Street, Hinckley (Hinckley Registration District). As William's  Australian Army records state they were married in the Hinckley Registration District then the Hinckley Church must have been the venue. The Curate in 1919 H.V. William married them. I asked myself why did I not check this on Free BMD - Bowes and Pratt married 1919 - Leicestershire - not a difficult search! But it turned out to be very difficult. In 1919/20 the GRO had correctly indexed William Bowes marrying in Hinckley but new wife Lillian Pratt marrying in Hackney. London. I quickly placed a "Postem" on Free BMD to make sure that anyone looking for them in the future will know the problem.

Excellent work barryd.
That would have been my next suggestion looking for all Pratts marrying Dec Qtr 1919.

Lilians Probate mentions Bessie Diana Spiller, married Woman.
