The Common Room / Help with word definition please.
« on: Wednesday 04 November 15 05:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I wonder if any of you lovely people might know what 'suck' means as in this sentence used in 1907

'he passed me some suck through the window and I gave it to the baby'

I've searched lots of dictionaries and can't find any definition that would make sense.  It was said in Leicestershire, maybe a local word?

Thank you

Paula

Leicestershire / HURST - Hinckley/Ullesthorpe/Claybrook
« on: Sunday 23 August 15 11:53 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I have HURSTs from Ullesthorpe/Claybrook/Shawell, Leicestershire in my tree, starting with John Jnr b. circa 1720 and his daughter Ruth Hurst b. 1750 in Shawell (I believe) and baptised at Lutterworth Independent.  I've recently discovered that my husband is a descendant of the Hinckley Hursts and one of his earliest is Charles Hurst b. 1769, Hinckley.  I know that the Hursts have been in Hinckley since the 16th century and in the Claybrook/Ullesthorpe area since the 18th century and given the close geographical proximity I was wondering if anyone has information on whether these two lines intermingle.  I'd really love to horrify my husband and tell him we're related!

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Marriage look up - Burton Dassett
« on: Saturday 20 November 10 09:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me please.  I'm looking at the marriage of William Rainbow and Elizabeth Pelvy on 11th November 1767 in Burton Dassett, Warwickshire.  This information is from the IGI but can anyone tell me if the parish records would include information on whether William was born in the county.  I'm hoping that this may be 'my' William Rainbow, born 1739 in Cotesbach, Leicestershire.
Any info most gratefully received.
Thank you
