Wow that's amazing...I posted the original message 5 year ago!  The WOOLERTONs are my direct ancestors.  They married into my main family the STRETTONs also from Whitwick.  During the course of my research I found that the STRETTONs had been a Catholic family.  I am now trying to find out if they were converts in the 1840s or if they had remained Catholic throughout the reformation.

I can email you my WOOLERTON information if you wish and would be interested in obtaining a copy of the book you mentioned.  You can contact via email below.
Cheers

David STRETTON

Hi,
 Sorry to hijack your thread but it caught my eye while I was looking around the internet for information on my family.
My Dad grew up in Coalville before moving to Australia in the late 1960's with his parents and siblings.
So far it has been an interesting search,thanks.

D.Woolerton.
