hi, I can't find a death for William at all in shepshed PRs / L'boro/ igi.

thinkgs i did find:
* baptism:
William Corbett 6/4/1740 Belton s/o Joseph & Mary  photo

* Shepshed valuations (property) 1823
William Corbett 13 /15 /31 Pick Street. he lived in 15 and rented others out. i have photos of entries & map showing position in town.

* Settlement certificates
name of people going to shepshed: William Corbett, wife & family
Date of certificate: 8 Jan 1768
Parish of legal settlement: Belton, leics

* the folder of burials i was talking about at church /on RC:
" A study of the churchyard Monumental inscriptions, St Botolphs, Shepshed. A Project study by Richard merriman, Leics university"
it includes stones that are standing / removed / lying. 10 that are unreadable.

i took photos of the William Corbett stone 1803. you may have seen it on your visit.

all photos sent to email.
I couldn't see a marriage in the IGI for Joseph Corbett & Mary.

family search has 4 children for a Joseph Corbett & Mary in Belton:

John        11/11/1735
Elizabeth  6/1/1737
William    6/4/1740
Mary       19/7/1744

there is also a marriage for a Corbett ( no first name) & Mary Elliott 1727 Shepshed(I could not find a marriage Belton)
maybe this is the reason that that william & family were allowed settlement to Shepshed - if his parents were married there

a tree on A* has a marriage (no source)

Jospeh Corbett = Mary Elliott  24/11/1734 Shepshed

this date would fit with the baps of Williams siblings.  can anyone confirm marriage date?? Mike??

Greeting’s Diddymiller ….

Unfortunately my early Leicestershire Marriages CD start

Via another CD no record found for 1727 marriage or the Baptisms you found
Although it showed Corbett records way back to :~
1641 in Belton
John son of Francis Corbett 9th May.

Did spot this one on that disc
1700. Joseph. Son of John & Sarah Corbett Bapt. 15th Feb.
Which could tie in with that 1727 Marriage to a Mary Elliot ?
Via LDS site although we can not tell now days if this is a submitted one or not……..

thanks mike. I saw the 1700 baptism - I can check the PRs but prob need to confirm we have the right marriage first.

Annemag & her relation & I have been in touch via PM / email  - I met them a few weeks ago at St Bots whilst i was wearing my band hat!! we will be looking at the PRs more closely but if you come across anything useful please post.
