Hello, I'm looking for someone who may have a copy of the book "A history of the Robins family of England, c.1159-2006" written by John Anthony Robins and privately published in 2009. The only source I can find so far is in the British Library but as things are I can't go there to see it. If anyone does have a copy I would like to know if it includes details of any Robyns/Robins/Robbins living in Osgathorpe, Leicestershire or the surrounding areas in the 16th century.
Please note that I have already have a copy of "Gleanings of the Robins Family of England" which unfortunately was not of any help.
Many thanks, Paul

The following is an excerpt from deeds undated but would have been in the 13th century.

 "Grant by Henry de Temple to Richard de Temple his eldest son begotten of his true spouse, of all his land held of the Templars in the town of Temple (Templum) by Welcboure, both land in bondage and land in demesne, with the homage and service of William de Temple".

My question is was the homage paid by William to Richard who would have been William's Lord, or the other way around and William was the Lord and now Richard has to pay homage?
Thanks pk9999

In William Dugdale's "The Antiquities of Warwickshire illustrated" of 1656 on page 87 he gives a pedigree going back to Leofric Earl of Chester. He cites a reference for the earliest part of the pedigree as follows. (It is difficult to read so apologies if I've mis-transcribed it)
Ex. vet. MS id calcem Flor. Wigorn
Can anyone expand on this, in particular who or what is Flor. Wigorn?
I suspect it is something to do with the Saxon Chronicles.
Any help would be appreciated.

My 4th GGF Daniel Lester lived most of his life in Shepshed, Leicestershire. From the details of his second marriage to Mary Middelton on 18 Mar 1840 we know his father was Thomas Lester deseased.
Daniel died on 28 Aug 1856 at the Union Workhouse in Loughborough aged 77. From the 1851 census for Shepshed he was a lodger living with William Kenny and his wife Elizabeth, he was 69 and his place of birth was a place in Warwickshire. This gives his DOB around 1779 - 1782.
However, the place of birth is not obvious, it looks like Tamm or Tams perhaps. My first thought was that it was Tamworth in Staffordshire because I believe in those days part of Tamworth was in Warwickshire. But I am not able to find any trace of him there so far. I have attached the 1851 census record it is the entry at the bottom of the page.
Can anyone suggest an alternative place in Warwickshire that he may have come from?
Thanks in advance.
