Birthplace is given as Twyford in 1851 census - Twyford is in Colsterworth parish.

His baptism is not in the South Witham batch C037111 (nor any sibling)
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

Hi Geoff,

Thanks, just found Twyford in the road Atlas right next to Colsterworth, thought it was in Leicester.

Twyford .... thought it was in Leicester.

Leics also has one (about 5 miles S of Melton Mowbray) :)  There are several Twyfords.

Well done Kathy! :)  John was an AgLab in 1851, so I guess it will be something that fits in that category.
