HOLYLAND & NELSON families LEICESTER/COLCHESTER/LONDON
« on: Wednesday 19 August 15 10:55 BST (UK) »
Am currently researching both sides of my family on Ancestry. If anyone is also searching for ancestors in the same families and would like to share resources with me, then  feel free to get in touch.

For the Nelson family - I'm mostly covering the following areas/places: Leicester, Braunstone, Enderby, Glen Parva, Blaby, Croft, Hinckley, Nuneaton, Loughborough and also Islington (London), Lothians (Scotland).

For the Holylands - Leicester (Eyres Monsell & Catherine Street/Barkby Thorpe Road), Braunstone, Huncote, Desford, Peckleton, Wolverhampton, Coventry (Foleshill) & Colchester (Layer de la Haye).

Cheers,

John NELSON.

Have you looked at the surname interest tables for others researching your names, you could also add yours there.
