Where in Shepshed?!
« on: Sunday 26 June 05 21:14 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I have ancestors from different families who come from Shepshed, their dates ranging from1770 to 1814. Does Shepshed have it's own records office or would I have to go to Loughborough?
Also which cemetary would they be most likely to be buried in?
Thanks for your time.

Greeting's......

If you post the names you are looking for
Then I'll have a look through my disk
which has  Burials for the Village of Shepshed....

The best place for Parish Records would be :-

Leicestershire & Rutland Records Office.

Shepsehd has it's own cemetary and some of the graves look quite old although I've not been there for a while.  I think most people would have been buried here in the 1800's and they are still being buried there today.  It is on Charnwood Road

I hope this helps.

you will find parish records for Shepshed in the family history centre at Loughborough library, on Granby st, as well as Wigston records office.

The parish church at Shepshed is St Botolph's. It has a cemetery which I explored in 2004 looking for ancestors. It appears to have burials during 1700s and 1800s.

I have transcripts of a few monuments for the names BAKEWELL and MERRIMAN - it would be too much of a coincidence if they were the names our were looking for  :)

The home of our 6x Gt. grandfather , William Corbett, born 1740 in Belton, died c1831 possibly in Shepshed. He expressed in his will a wish to be buried in Shepshed. , 4 sons and a daughter are there in St Botolphs graveyard. but we can't find him? Would anyone have an idea of where we can look. Please

did you also check the extra small graveyard across the path from the main graveyard?
 maybe he didnt have a stone.

There is a publication i use in L'boro library (presumably shepshed have it too ) listing with transcriptions all stones in St Bots.

I can check the local PRs next time in L'boro library ( just returned!!) for Williams death/burial.
