Hi
I notice that whilst the marriages at St Margaret's are on the IGI, baptisms aren't - is there any reason for that? Will I find details if I went to the Leicester Records office?
Regards
Sarah

That's a offer I can't refuse Mike! However I think it may be a big ask because of the confusion over the surname. The details are as follows:
I'm looking for the birth of Sarah Ann Debrex (sometimes written as Deborex or Devereaux) abt 1825 in Leicester - I know her father was John Debrex. I also know there was a John Deborex (b1800) who married Dorothy Gadsby (1802) in 26 Dec 1820 at St Margarets and so I'm trying to confirm if they are the parents.
Any help appreciated

Hello Mike
Thanks for this information. However perhaps I have confused you.
I don't live near Leicester (though my father's ancesters did). The quote I typed at the top of my topic was yours.
Would it be possible, when you are next at the Record Office, to have a look for us. We have quite a few Taylors b in Leicester
Thank you in anticipation

Sarah,
Sorry to thread hyjack, but these are my realtions too :D
It is a very very confusing surname. I've lost count of the numbers of variations. I think it is actually supposed to be DEVEREUX.
I'm related through Harriet (b. abt 1831), daughter of John DEVEREUX and Dorothy Gadesby. Although i havent looked through this branch for a while, I have Dorothy's parents as Edward GADSBY and Dorothy TIMBRELL. But I havent been able to go back farther on John DEVEREUX due to the spelling issues.
PM me if you would like a link to my tree.
Kind Regards
Tracey

Hi Mike,
I hope you don't mind but I was also wondering that if you are going to the records office again anytime soon you might be able to look a marriage up for me from St Margarets:
4/04/1825 Thomas Currey and Sarah Atkins
I most interested to find out where Thomas was from if it is noted and whether there is any mention of either parents.
If you have time I would also be interested in another marriage:
25/12/1824 George Currey and Sarah Hudson also at St Margaret's.
Thomas Curry is my Grt Grt Grt Grandfather he was a stonemason and died of 'consumption' in 1851 in Lincoln. There are not too many Curry's in Leicester and notably his son Robert born c. 1836 (bap St George's) also a stonemason moved back to the Durham area, a hot-bed for the surname Curry.
George may have been a sibling of Thomas.
I would be grateful for your help, but understand if the lookup is not possible.
regards
Mark

Regarding possibility George & Thomas were Brothers

St: Margaret’s Parish Church. Leicester.

CURREY Harriet George & Sarah 27-Jan 1836
CURREY William George & Sarah 13-Feb 1828
CURRIE William Thomas & Sarah 06-Oct 1826
CURRY Edwin Henry & Constance 04-May 1874
So...Do we have two different Surnames and therefore not brothers ?
Hope this is of some help to you……

Mike,
I am indebted for your help. Thankyou very much.
I not sure what my next plan will be now, although I thought it may be the case, I was hoping Thomas Curry was of another parish but at least I can now probably check the baptism records to see if he was actually in the parish when born and the same for Sarah Atkins.
I didn't know about William Curry most have died an infant/child.
Curry seems to get spelled differently quite often in the early census so again I think I would need to track down George's baptism.
Looks like I'll be planning a trip to Leicester records office in June. Is there any parking nearby do you know?
thanks alot

Re :~ Parking at the Records Office Wigston.
They have their own Car Park 12 Spaces including two Disable spaces
Which stands on the corner of Elizabeth Court / Long Street.
150 yards from the Records Office.
If that’s full on street parking further up Elizabeth Court opposite the garages.
Failing that Civic Car Parks Aylestone Lane & Paddock Street
But READ instruction for parking if you plan a long stay
otherwise they put a Parking ticket on the car if you go over limit. ……

Thanks for the info Mike, much appreciated.
Not sure how I'll pursue my research next. Looking forward Thomas Curry and family moved to Lincoln / Sleaford for the 1841 census but were back in Leicester in 1851, however, Thomas had died in January 1851 in Lincoln.
I think there are some inconsistencies with the births of their children which I need to check as there seems to be some 'toing and froing' between Leicester and Lincoln.
Can't find George Currey or Sarah on 1841 census or beyond.
Think I'll stuggle to figure out where Thomas was born he was a stonemason so he learnt his trade somehow, possibly from his father...
thanks

Greeting’s Again Mark…….
Have you thought of asking a few basic questions on your Currey Family
Within the " Lincolnshire Section " on this site ?
You may just be able to fill a few holes……….

Hye I'm not sure I'm in the right place but I'm trying to discover more about my Shread family ancestors who were a military family hailing from Leicester and Hinckley.
They worked in the 1890's in alocal dye works. Joseph Shread b1864 lived at Lower green street and William Shread his brother born 1860 lived at what I decipher as 14 Savvy Gate Court.
Both worked as dyers. But these places no longer exist or do they? Anyone know anything to help?
Thanks
Steve :)
-
Steve - that would be Sanvey Gate, which was covered in the extensive slum clearances in the 20th century.
If I were you I'd start a new thread with your query.What are you actually wanting to find- the streets or the people? If the people, who are you looking for and when? Give us all the info you've got and someone will find something to help! But try a new thread!
-
Hye Annie
I'm still trying to work out how to try a new thread as per your advice.
Can you help?
Best wishes
Steve

Go to "Forum" at the top of this page (inbetween "home" and "help" in the horizontal list!)
Scroll down the list of fora until you come to England- General; click on Leicestershire (in the small print under the forum heading)
click on "new topic" (on the right hand side of the screen as you scroll slowly down)
take it away! I'll look forward to seeing the new thread!

I am looking for the baptisms of CHARLES FRANCiS DYKE B.1896 DOROTHY DYKE B.1898 and ALBERT GEORGE DYKE B.1899
Thankyou

If anyone can help I would be grateful. I am looking for Clements/Clemence family information from St. Margaret's Leicestershire.
I have the record of a 3rd Great Grandfather John Clements baptised at St Margaret's, Leicester 8th Aug 1770. His father is George Clemence and his mother Mary.
I have been unable to find any record of George Clemence or his wife Mary.
Thank you
