Would anyone happen to have acces to the parish records for St. Margaret's in Leicester.
Looking for a baptism of Alfred Castle Brackenbury - born in December of 1900. Trying to find out who his parents were.
Also looking for the parish burial record of the same - buried 14 JUN.1901 - again, looking for any mention of parents.
Thanks very much!

Thanks - Not sure what records you're looking at - I have the cemetery records you gave, but I'm looking for the actual parish records of the batism and funeral.
Possibly he was not baptized or buried from St. Margaret's - again, I'm not sure where they attended church, but in 1901 they were living on Upper Brunswick St in Leicester - present day Brunswick St (don;t know if it's the same street) seems to be near St. Matthews, but I'm not sure that's an actual church or just the name of an area in Leicester.
-
Greeting’s Again. ….
I have St:Margaret’s Baptisms 1615 ~ 1920. ( 52.000 Baptisms )
That’s why I can confirm Alfred was not Baptised there………
Seeing his age of only 7 months at death
then maybe he was still to be Baptised ?
Regarding actual Parish registers……….
again services before burials at Welford Road or any Civic Cemeteries are not usually recorded within these registers .
Re UPPER Brunswick Street….
This was a continuation of Brunswick Street
Finishing at Catherine Street before the Railway Bridge.
Upper Brunswick St. is under present day Everest Court & Kashmir Road
This whole area was and is still called St: Matthew’s Estate.
Taking it’s name from the Church of St: Matthew’s
Which stood on the corner of Chester Street / Melville Street
Renamed Montreal Road / Taylor Street on present day maps.

H iMike,
Thanks very much! I kind of thought maybe the street continued where more modern streets now stand.
Any idea when the church of St. Matthew's discontinued being used? I'm wondering if perhaps the baptism and funeral took place from there rather than St. Margaret's. In looking at a map, it seems that if St. Matthew's was still being used it would have only been a few minutes walk away - St. Margaret's would have been within walking distance, but a much further walk.
Again, thanks for any insights you can provide!
-
Was able to find a bit more on St. Matthew's - Looks like it did indeed exist back in 1900-1901. Not used much in the 1960's and finally demolished in 1988.
Anyone know where the parish records may have gone??! I suspect this is the church I'm looking for since it was only a few minutes walking distance from Upper Brunswick Street in 1900.
Thanks!
-
Greeting’s Again. …….
St: Matthew’s Parish Registers will be on Fiches
and held at the Record Office at Wigston.
In 1960’s ~ 70’s
St: Matthews Estate was under yet another re development
With the present day Inner Ring Road cutting through
And modern blocks of Flats put up
where the old back to back terrace housing used to be. ……
MIKE. ……

Thnanks again, Mike - yeah, I did hear back from the Records Office; they're checking to see if they have the record. I was hoping the diocese would hold it but it looks like in England everything seems to get shipped off to one archive office ;)

Does anyone have any idea about an old dye works located in St Margarets Parish Leicester or the whereabouts of Savvy Gate Court or Lower Green Street?
My ancestors the Shreads lived in that area in the late 19th century.
Any pictures or photos of the area would be great,
Also my great great grandfather Joseph Shread was buried either in Welford Road Cemetery or
Leicester St Leonards - both are marked as his final resting place. How can that be?
Thanks

There are several Cotton Mills which will have Dye departments
but with out an actual name of the works or name of owner
So in order to have a look at Trade directories of the day…..
UPDATED... a big Bleach & Dyeworks on Bowmans Lane
which ran at the side of the canal on North-gate
Also within easy walking distance of both Lower Green Street & Sanvey-gate

Greeting’s Again Steve.
Having had a good in depth look at Census returns
I can state the Burial found is that of Joseph the father of Joseph b 1864.
I see Joseph Jnr was with his new wife ( Bridget née Dempsey). Married 1887.
at No’ 10 Lower Green Street 1890
Within the household of his in law’s the Dempsey’s
And in 1881.
At No. 12 Diamond Street ( St: Leonard’s Parish.)
With father ….Joseph and his Mother Rosanna.
On BOTH Census returns it states
Joseph was born in LIMERICK IRELAND.
Sorry I could not find ant details for William b 1860.
also could only see courts on Sanvey-gate going up to No'. 6.
MIKE. ….
-
Mike thanks so much for your detailed research and your updates.
Its a pity Rosanna could not be buried with her husband.
Joseph was an interesting fellow. A soldier who stated his original job was as a framework knitter from Hinckley. Enlisted into 17th (Leics) Regiment Feb 1838.
Served 9 years in India. 21 years service attached to Royal Limerick County Militia. A musician (drummer) a role which continued through three generations.
I believe his father was also Joseph Shread from Hinckley but can't confirm it as I don't have access to the HInckley parish records.
Any advice on these brick walls? Reading some of your replies tgo previous postings you should really write a genealogical book - or maybe you have?
Best wishes

Another request for Mike from Leicester
Would you be so kind as to look up the baptism of Sarah Busby 17 Feb 1815 in Leicester St Margarets. I'm hoping she may be a stray from Desborough or Ashley in Northamptonshire.
Thank you
-
Greeting’s Colek. & Welcome to the Leicestershire Boards
Confirmation of details. :~
1815.
St: Margaret’s Parish Church. Leicester.
Parish Baptism Register Entry No’. 860.
17th. February.
Sarah. Daughter John & Elizabeth Busby…….
I’m afraid it would not give the actual Town / Village for Sarah
It would only state which Parish they were living in at the time of the Baptism
Or if the Parish Clark was feeling helpful an actual Address.
Also it would state John's Occupation
I could not see a marriage of a John ~ Elizabeth within any of the 5 Main Parishes
Neither could I see anymore Baptisms of children to John & Elizabeth
Which would seem to go along with your thoughts that they were not of the County of Leicestershire.

Hi Mike,
Am looking for a baptism of James Barnacle at St Margaret's around 1834 and his parents marriage around 1820. I believe his parents were William and Elizabeth Barnacle.
Would you be kind enough to have a quick look and see if you can find them?
Thanks in advance,
Stephen

Hi Mike,
Doyou have access to the marriage records? I have a William Hargreaves Snow marrying Sarah Marshall on 21st November 1825. I borrowed a film however it was just a printed list.
I am trying to trace Sarah's parents. I have traves her husband back many generations in York.
Thank you

Thank you for the quick reply.
I have them on the census from 1841 until 1881. Sarah was born in Leeds. Her birth year varies from 1806 to 1811. There are number of Sarah Marshalls born around Leeds during that period. I was hoping the church record may give more information. Even a witnesses name can sometimes help.
-
Greeting’s Caimein. & Welcome to the Leicestershire Boards……
The only way is to have a look at the Marriage Registers
held at the Records Office.
In the hope that a name recognisable to you appears as a witness.
Ages and occupations & parents will not appear within the Register
These details were not part of the Register
until after the September quarter of 1837.
This I can do on your behalf and report back on this thread with my findings.

Hi I have some folks by the name of Fray who lived around St Margarets from 1820's onward and any details of people born pre 1840 would be welcome BUT my main interest is in Thomas born c1850 and had children 1870-1893 I have conflicting information regarding his marriage(s?). One source claims he married Hannah Frances Wood in 1868, another that his wife was Emma Wood and a third that she was Emma Neale. Are these the same woman or did HannahF leave the scene and Emma take her place causing the confusion. He certainly appears to be living with an Emma as man and wife in the census.

Thank you for all the additional info. Though now I have a new conundrum regarding Thomas and Frances whom the other source thought was Frances Coles. Perhaps Thomas married Frances Jackson nee Coles. Thomas was born in Dublin so Fray might be an interpretation of his accent. I need to track the gun-smithing angle to get futher back I think. Thank you so much

Thanks Mike,
It looks like a shotgun wedding on 1st with John baptised on the 6th. I wonder if he was born before the marriage or they married as a result of his birth. They had 10 more children that I know. I guess a Gun-smith has to have an apprenticeship first. I have no evidence of Thomas's parents having come to England and I see there are no family names at the marriage so was he sent to England or did he leave Ireland as soon as he had finished his apprenticeship. If the latter then he must have met Frances fairly soon after arriving in Leicester.
Do you have access to the baptism registers for 1858+? If so were any of these children baptised there, most of them died in infancy and I'm having dificulty confirming their parents though some look obvious...Rosetta must surely be the daughter of William & Rosetta? I don't want to impinge on your time so please don't put yourself out. I should try to get a visit to the Leicester records office really.
Thank you for all your effort it is greatly appreciated. Grace.

Hello!
My name is Debora Fray Farber. My grandfather was Ezra Jack Fray, son of Thomas Fray and Emma Wood.
Ezra Jack was one of 13 children. I had only met one of his siblings when I was a child. Her name was Florence "Flo" Fray Stewart. Ezra Jack died in 1967 I think and Aunt Flo dies in 1978. They was a trucking company in Leicestershire called Fray Brothers Trucking. Visit my Ancestry tree on Ancestry.com

Hello,
This is my first time ever posting on a chat site so please bear with me. How do I connect with a specific person? I would like to somehow send a message to Mike of Leicester.
My request is for assistance in getting parish records for St. Margaret's. A friend of mine Albert Snow is trying to trace his father's family. His father Walter William Snow C1903-1971 left the marriage (22 Mar 1943 in Hamilton, ON, Canada) when Albert was very young. He has no recollection. From the 1911 Census of Canada we see a family with a son Walter born in England. The father's name was also Walter and whose enlistment paper for WWI shows his birth place as St. Margaret's in Leicester.
I would be grateful of any help.
Thank you.

Now I would not get too excited at the thought of Triplets !!! .... ::)
Seeing that 8 years had pasted since the marriage in 1809.
It’s more likely that Baptisms could not have been affordable till then.
Or Thomas & Ann had moved back in to the Parish and the Minister had been on a recruitment dive to increase his flock. …….
Sorry NO times would appear on Baptism records you are confusing that practise
With BIRTH certificates and as it’s 1816
. and Birth Registration was not law then times will not appear on the entries …….
I can have a look at the original registers on your behalf the next time I’m at the records Office and report my findings back on this thread . …..

Hi
I was wondering if anyone can help me with a look up for St Margaret's in Leicester.
Name George Ripton born c1820-1827
I visited Leicester records office a while ago and checked all the Leicester parish records from 1827-1832 - based on the age given in various census documents. I have now found his military record and he gives his place of birth as St Margaret's and his age in 1842 was 18 years old. So I need to focus my research in that area, but unfortunatly I won't be able to get to Leicester again for quite some time. So I was wondering if there was anyone on here who would be kind enough to help.
Many thanks

Hi Mike from Leicester (or anyone else that can help).
Reference St. Margaret's records.
I am related to a Benjamin Roberts b. 1792 (Boatbuilder/Boatwright)
possibly Birmingham, who married Ann(e) somebody about 1812, possibly
in Leicester as they subsequently lived in Belgrave Gate, Leicester and later
in the parish of Great Bowden (1820ish until 1830s).
American researchers have stated three items in St Margaret's parish registers
viz - Maria, daughter of Benjamin and Ann buried March 12th 1815, age "unreadable"
Oliver, son baptised 24th Sept 1819, living "Banbury Road?"
Lewis, son baptised 26th Dec 1815, living Belgrave Gate.
My queries on these entries are as follows -
Any baptism for Maria, how old when she died ?
Any death for Oliver after 1819 up to 1841 as I can't trace any census entries for him.
Any death for Lewis after 1815 but before 1821 as I have picked up Lewis in 1841
and 1851 aged 20 and 30, suggesting the first one died and a subsequent one was
baptised (circa 1821?).
Any sign of a wedding entry for Benjamin and an Ann(e) and, any baptisms for any
other children up to 1821 ?
Thanks in anticipation when you've got a minute.
Dave.

St Margaret's in Leicester.
Name George Ripton born c1820-1827
I have a freeby disc from a magazine that contains baptisms @ St. Margaret's Leicester, 1813-1878. No occurrences of the surname Ripton at all, I then checked every George baptised between 1820-1827, no Geoge's with a surname that could be in any way interpreted as Ripton - sorry! :'(
-
Reference St. Margaret's records.
Oliver, son baptised 24th Sept 1819
Lewis, son baptised 26th Dec 1815
My queries on these entries are as follows -
Any baptism for Maria any baptisms for any other children up to 1821 ?
On the freeby disc I have (Baptisms 1813-1878, St. Margaret's) there are only the two baptisms for Oliver and Lewis as above, nothing for Maria or any other children of Benjamin/Ann - Sorry!
Hopefully Mike or someone else with access to more records will be able to respond on the other events.

Hello, I'm very new here and stumbled on this thread while searching for some baptisms at St Margaret's / St Matthews.
I wonder if anyone would be so kind as to let me know the details of a particular family?
The head is James Haynes (Haines) b. 5 Oct 1878 Leicester, d 2 Nov 1949 in Melton. Parents William Haynes & Fanny Spencer. Baptism info would be great.
Wife: Emily Green Sep 1878 - 1912 married 15th October 1899 in St Matthews
Son: William Edward 1900 - ?
Son: James 1905 - ?
Dau: Doris (Edna?) 1908 - ?
There was one more child listed as having died on the 1911 census but I do not know if boy or girl and how old.
Many thanks in advance :)

Hello Mike and all in Leicester,
I am Brian, in the states and I am researching my family roots in England. I have Richard Parker m. Elizabeth Kirk on or about June 6 or Jun 8, 1814 at St Margarets in Leicestershire. I would love to know how would I go about seeing this record or getting a copy of the Marriage record if possible.
Also, they had at least 3 children before ariving in America, I have them listed as Eliza or Elizabeth born abt 1814/1815, Ann K Parker, born about 1816 and son William Parker b. about 1819, I would assume they were all born in Leicester as this seemed to have been where a few later records was given as place of birth. However, their father Richard Parker on his Immigration record to the US gives his place of birth as Skillington, Lincs. about 1782.
I don't know much more about Richard's wife Elizabeth (or Eliza) Kirk except that she was born about 1788 and probably or possibly in Leicester.
I appreciate all your kindness and ANY HELP locating records from family and friends in England.
Cheers,
Brian W

I tried to send you a Private message. I didn't realize that I was not allowed to give out my email address on here. Oopz.
I was wondering you mentioned Elizabeth Kirk's parents was that from the marriage recored or from her birth/baptism?
I take it you didn't see Richard Parker born in Leicester at that time, which may make Skillington or Lincolnshire area more likely?
Cheers and peace,

Mike I'm searching for any christening and burial records for Abigail and John Lewin's children between 1868 and 1874. Albert Edward was born in the Mission workhouse, St Margaret's Leicester in 1871. Thomas Richard born 1870 or 1871 death 1873. Thomas Richard b. 1874 died 1874. Also Charles William born 1873 died 1873.
I am not sure if all children were christened/ buried in St Margaret. Their father was also known as John Taylor. Any help would be gratefully appreciated and reciprocated, if possible Thank you

Hello Mike
I should appreciate a check on Ethel Agnes Ball - born approximately 1878. Her parets were married at St Margaret's in 1856 so I imagine they had all they children baptised there too, as they remained in the parish all their married lives. I have her death cert (at age 18) and I already know she was buried in Welford Road.
Many thanks

Forgive me. I'm a brand newbie and don't know if I'm going about this the right way. Absolute first time on a forum.
But is there anyone who could check the parish register for St. Margaret's Leicester for the baptism record for Florrie Fall born 26th November 1917? Her mother was Florence Charlotte Pickard Fall (formerly Davie) of Pasture Lane, Leicester (deceased). I don't know if the mother's name would be on the baptism record given that she was dead by that time. I don't even know if Florrie Fall was baptised. Her birth wasn't registered until 16th January 1918, by the matron of the Causeway Lane Maternity Hospital. She was brought up by her maternal aunt Polly Farrell/Brindley.
I'm particularly looking to see if a father's name is given for Florrie Fall. The mother was married to Harry Fall at the time of the birth but he is not named on the birth certificate (possibly given it was wartime, I don't know?).
Also is there any record of a burial place for the mother, Florence Charlotte Fall - died 21st December 1917 (death registered 24th December 1917)?
Any help or direction would be appreciated.

That's absolutely brilliant, Mike. Not only Florence's burial plot reference but a child we didn't even know about and a new name for her mother which she never appears to have used on any official document in her lifetime, preferring her middle name.
A wealth of information!!
Just found out that it would appear Florrie Fall (DOB 26/11/1917) grew up a Roman Catholic as that was her aunt's religion. So is there a way of checking the Catholic records to see if there is anything there? It's a father's name I'm particularly looking for (more particularly to check if it was actually Florence's soldier husband Harry Fall that was the father).
Thank you so much for the help so far. It's been great.

Hello again MIke
Did you find the baptism record for Ethel Agnes Ball? You affirmed the parent data I already had regarding their marriage/death/burial etc. It would be most helpful to know the baptism date - if it happened at St Margaret's.
If not perhaps you could point me in the right direction for this type of information - I have a few baptisms at St Margaret's to get through?
Kind regards

So sorry Mike, just read my original message and realised I didn't even ask for baptism data. :'(

This is fantastic info, thanks! It means that I can look into buying the relevant parish registers to trace my Dunkley line (the Millican line goes back to Cumbria). Yes, if you could look into whether there were any witnesses, that would be marvellous.

My greatgrandfather and his family were living in St Margarets during the 1891 census and was wondering if you could kindly check the parish registers for me
My great grandfather was Joseph H Simpson, born 1882, his father Thomas Simpson (born 1847) and his mother Sarah Ann Green
Thomas was also living in St Margarets in 1861 - son of Thomas and Joyce - and I believe she remarried a man with the surname Mason (at least I'm assuming son in law means step son, as all his siblings are down with the surname Simpson and son/daughter in law)
Thank you

Hi,
I know this is an old threat but I am hoping someone can help. I am also after parish records for St Margarets, Leicester. I am looking for a baptism for George Henry Glover born 1875. Or any Glover information may be helpful.
Thank you all so much
Best Wishes

There are some confusing records of Glover baptisms in 1874 in St. Mary de Castro parish. Do you have parents' names so that I can pass on what may be relevant?
Tony

Hi Tony,
Thank you so much for trying to help me. Very much appreciated!! I am trying to trace a George Henry Glover, born Jan 1875 Leicester. Parents I think to believe are Henry Glover (born 1853 in Great Glen, Leicester) and Maria Hill (born 1854, Gill Morten, Leicester). I think George Henry Glover married a Emma Florence David (born 1874). Although without the parish records these are just a good guess!
I have who I believe to be George Henry Glover on the 1881 census (aged 6) living with his parents. Address is 30 Alfred Terrace, St Margaret, Leciester. Cant seem to find much about this family though.
Any help so much appreciated.
Best Wishes
Louise

Just working from your dates I found 2 entries of interest. The first was a baptism of George Harry Glover on 6 Sept. 1874 in the parish of St. Mary de Castro Leicester. The parents are said to be Harry and Millicent of 20 West Bridge St. Leicester and the father was an innkeeper. The parents' surname is Glover
The second record (and next to the first) is the baptism on the same date (and obviously the same church) of Emily Glover Philipps. In this case the parents are given as Edwin Samuel Lee and Maria. The parents' surname is again given as Glover which I imagine is either both parents or if the name Lee is a surname it applies just to Maria. The father is a hosier and they lived at the same address as above.
The record for the second is pretty clear and I think that the name is Philipps and not Philippa which might suggest something about the mother's maiden name.
Harry Glover married Millicent Moore on 4 June 1870 in the same parish. Their parents were Samuel Glover a publican and Francis Moore a butcher.
Hope that helps
cheers
Tony
