I have Alfred Sykes born c1887 on my family tree, he is my 5th cousin 3 times removed so is a very distant relation. I do not have his baptism but his parents were John Sykes (bap 4 Mar 1849) in Whitwick and Annie (born Codnor, Derbyshire), Alfred's siblings were Frederick, Ann, John and William, they were born in Codnor while Alfred was born in Thringstone. Alfred also had 2 half siblings as his father married again.
John Sykes born 1849 was the s/o John Gains Sykes (1810 Loughborough) and Mary Bradley and this John was the s/o Nicholas Sikes and Sarah Gains of Loughborough. Nicholas married 2 Sarah's in Loughborough, he and his 3rd wife Mary then moved to Thringstone. Nicholas was a butcher.
Hope this helps,
Judy
