Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Re: E.R. Neale lived at 344 Humberstone Road, during 1939 or post 1945

Can you give a bit more context?

Electoral rolls for Leicester are on FindMyPast.  I have no idea which electorate/s would be applicable at that time.
You can sign up for just a one month membership at FindMyPast

Not there in 1939.

Very happy to have found this thread and thankful for the research everyone has done. great great grandfather was Frank Bowen. Frank is buried in Auckland and there are indeed many Bowen descendants here….. There’s always been a discrepancy with Frank’s birth. These records show 1881, but his actual headstone shows 1879 and I haven’t seen enough to doubt 1879.


Out of interest…what does his death certificate say?
I see in the NZ Cemetery records his place of birth is recorded as Australia.

Is that a transcription error? Because surely if he was married to Aileen Ida Murphy in India, and she was born there, it was not a secret!

Added..not only that,  last occupation is given as Accountant, yet on 1954 electoral roll he is a Labourer.

The actual images for most of the records (including Frank’s baptism with birth details) are on FindMyPast
You can take out just a one month subscription and madly download them.
You find them in their British India Office datasets. (The records do not always come up using the generic search at start of the website)
Adelaide’s death is indexed as BEWEN

I would be grossly violating ts & cs to post them all here for you. There are so many relevant to you. But in answer to your last point

In Adelaide Virginia Gasper Smith’s baptismal entry there are two columns. First column is date of baptism. Column two is headed “said to be born” .  Which is where the 1855 date comes from.

Essex / Re: PRATT from Essex - Genealogy research connecting to Bahamas and the USA

Looking at this site

https://lihistoryproject.wixsite.com/long-island-bahamas/old-inhabitants

It seems to suggest both the Glinton & Pratts were at Long Island well before the 1839 & 1844 English births.

I can’t see the birth of Marjiana.
I see at her marriage her parents (un named, give consent) and that her residence is “Pratts”.
Do you know what that is? It is a Plantation?

Have you the Henry Glinton /Mary Pratt marriage?
Did they marry?
What documents agree with the 1839 birth for Henry? (I can see the reg obviously, but how have you linked to it?)

I see Benjamin Glinton arriving at Florida naming mother Mary Glinton back in Viking, Long Island Bahamas is described as African.  The key at the front says African = Black.

His baptism confirms Mary formerly Pratt

Maybe "screw wormer" mis-spelled as "wirmer".
There is a thing called a worm-screw

That makes sense
