Hi

Can sks please help, if possible and do a look up for the children born to John 1763-1851 and Susan 1769-1847 Harrington nee Stable at Bootle.  John is my 5x gr uncle through his parents William 1738-1823 and Betty 1745-1821 nee Smith

John and Susan married on 4 Dec 1791 at Bootle and made their home at Fell Green. 

I have followed their line through their daughters Betty 1797-1871 and Hannah 1802-1849 but I have been told that there were other children ie Nancy but no other information

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi

In 1914 there were approx two dozen Adult Schools in Leicester and all those members of the West End [Narborough Road/Hinckley Road] branch that enlisted had their photographs taken and put into an album.  After the war the father of one of those killed presented a wooden plaque commemorating all those that gave their lives but this has since been lost.

When they sold the building the album was permanently loaned to the Wigston RO and my mum who is a member and on the Leicestershire Executive would like to find out what happened to them all.

At present I only have a list of their names and where known, the regiment they served with but in the next few days I will be receiving from them a copy of the actual photographs as well.

If anyone has any information on anyone can they please contact me and I will then be able to forward a copy on to them.

Hi

I understand that over 100,000 people emigrated to Argentina in the late 1800's and wondered how they travelled there from the UK.
