Where is Barkby & Glenfield in Leicestershire ?

[Kimberley]

Any help appreciated.
I am searching for a William REID aged 38 'coachman' in 1851 census born Barkby,Leicestershire.

His wife Alice 37 (1851 census) was born Glenfield?,Leicestershire.
Unfamiliar with Leicestershire !!!

Hi Kimberley

Glenfield and Barkby are about 9 miles apart
Glenfield to the NW of Leicester on the A50 main Road out towards the M1 motorway and Barkby to the NE around the A46 road near Syston

Try

http://www.maps.google.co.uk/maps?oi=eu_map&q=Barkby+Thorpe&hl=en for barkby then reduce the scale to about half and Glenfield appears on the left

Hope this helpss
Happy Hunting
