Hi Janet, that's great! It's really interesting to find out who you are related to and you never even knew!

Hello,

I know this is a really old thread but I only started doing my family tree a few months ago.

My great grandmother was Lillian Hibbert who lived in Fish Pond cottages and her mother Martha Lakin. We have recently found a lot of photographs and postcards between the Hibberts/Lakin/Stinson families at home which belonged to Lillian Hibbert all from around 1900-1920 and she must have passed them to my grandad James Arthur Smith who was her only child. None of the photos we have are labelled so we don't know who they are but I was wondering if anyone had any information about the Hibberts/ Lakin/ Stinson family or any photos so we could maybe match names to faces? I would love to know who the pictures are of. I would be very grateful of any information to help with my tree :)

Being as Catherine gave her father as Thomas Price, it could be possible that he was George's father too?

Oh wow! So as there is no father on the marriage info for George and Sarah Roberts, then does that mean George was definitely illegitimate? Or could it be that his parents died at a young age? Although I did see that he was living with the Glover family. So it is possible that Sarah, daughter of James and Mary could be his mother? If Sarah was his mother maybe Samuel Glover isn't his father but he married Sarah afterwards?

Hi everyone, thank you for all your replies! I did mean Sarah Roberts for his wife but my phone auto corrected it to Robinson  ::)

Hello, I am trying to research my Dad's side of the family who's surname was Smith. But have hit a dead end so was wondering if anyone would be able to help me?

I am searching for:
George Smith, born 1822 (ish) and died in 1905 - can't find a birth certificate.
Married Sarah Robinson around 1841-1846, but not found marriage certificate.
Worked as a coal miner in Swannington and was from the parish. The earliest census I can find with a George Smith is 1841 but it looks like he was a lodger with another family which weren't his parents.

I am going to search the archives in Wigston this weekend, but I would be very grateful for any information that anyone has on George

Thanks in advance :)
