One memorial to a Pochin in Wigston is at the Independent Chapel, now United Reform Church - https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/151625074/william-pochin

From the Leicester Chronicle, 9th July 1881:

A beautiful monument has been built in front of the Independent Chapel to the memory of Mr. William Pochin, the great and efficient Sunday School teacher."

The inscriptions read:
West side "Sacred to the memory of William Pochin, born Sept. 8th, 1794; died May 2nd, 1850."

South End "The memory of the just is blessed."

East side "For more than thirty years he took an intelligent and active part in all matters affecting this chapel and village; thirty years after his death this monument was erected by his eight sons and daughters to mark the affection and respect they will ever entertain for their father's memory."

North End "Good deeds live forever."

The other day, we picked up a leaflet regarding the gardens at Barkby Hall. We used to live nearby but they weren't open then - https://www.wherecanwego.com/item/e799420/barkby-hall-open-garden-for

I don't know if this is significant but some of the baptisms for Great Glen seem to be missing in 1786.

Those for 1785 are in a printed register and finish in February 1786. An additional record has been added, in a different hand, for John Esom in September. This then appears in a hand-written page, followed by three more for 1786.

This means that there may be seven months of baptisms missing from Great Glen for 1786 and perhaps one of those may be for William Kirby.

P.S. - The same applies to burials and marriages, nothing between March and September 1786.

Elizabeth H was Elizabeth Hannah Woodiwiss who married Henry Rowarth in Bakewell District in 1916.

Elizabeth was born on 29th March 1892, which may help to find her death.

She is unmarried in 1939 and the only matching death is a Roworth in Jan-Mar 1945 in Leicester.

Billion Graves has a reference death - 21 Mar 1945 Welford Road Cemetery, Leicester.

There is a Rowarth in Ulverston, Lancs., in 1966, born 1893.

There was a Thomas Nichols baptised in Pencombe near Leominster in 1628, son of Thomas.

This would have made him 40 when he married.

There are two baptisms at St Botolph to a Henry and Sarah:-

Elizabeth on 28 Apr 1768 and George on 1 Oct 1772

Also some to a George and Sarah but no John. I can't see a marriage of George and Sarah.
