wottney or botney?
« on: Sunday 16 October 05 17:53 BST (UK) »
Is there such a place as Wottney leciestershire? I'm trying to find the parents of Issac Holmes born abt 1853. On one census it shows Botney, leciestershire but on another it shows Wottney. Only i need to find out about his family and i can't find anything further back, i know his wife and children but not his parents or siblings.

The 1871 census has Isaac HOLMES aged 20 working as a Servant - Footman in Leicester. This could match with his 1881 occupation of Coachman. He was born in South Kilworth.

I think this is him in 1861...

1861 Census - Church Lawford, Warwickshire
RG9/2210 Folio: 76 Page: 2
James Holmes abt 1820  Bootle, Cumberland, England Head
Sarah Holmes abt 1825  Barwell, Leicestershire, England Wife
John William Holmes abt 1849  Kilworth, Leicestershire, England Son
Isaac Holmes abt 1851  Kilworth, Leicestershire, England Son
Joseph Holmes abt 1852  Kilworth, Leicestershire, England Son
James Holmes abt 1854  Hilmarton, Warwickshire, England Son
Mary Holmes abt 1857  Hilmarton, Warwickshire, England Daughter
Robert Holmes abt 1858  Hilmarton, Warwickshire, England Son

In 1891 his brother Joseph is still in Church Lawford and says he was born in Botney, Leicestershire. The only reference I can find is Botney Lodge, Walcote Road, South Kilworth.

Best regards,
John
