when John and Hannah were buried, the grave was as FB...freehold brick grave so you might want to have a look at the Welford road site as they will give you the info on who bought the grave and how much for etc for a donation. It is an unconsecrated burial, found lots on the non-conformist records I have for the surname but not John and Elizabeth

There's lots of John Cumberland's in the newspaper's but the marriage is there!

Oh thank you Willsy, yes the Hames lived at 60 New Walk, I have a copy of his Will, off the top of my head he left over £2,000, (another Hosiery manufacturer)


Do you have a web address for the Leicester Chronicle? I found http://www.leicesterchronicler.com/ but it says under construction with no search facility I can see.... maybe I am missing something

[willsy]

There is a headstone, Hannah was John's sister married to Charles Booth of Liverpool. Not sure if you already have the info, photo attached to a tree on a pay site

This will be good when they start the search facility

Can't find a marriage for Peter and Dorothy so far Leicester

[iluleah]

I have no Hannah, there again I have not parents for John, however will save the information in the hope I find more and can build that family unit.

I have found John their eldest son seems to have gone to Oz and I am wondering if the same happened to Robert Bakewell  as he seems to disappear after 1yr old (1841) and can't find a death

[iluleah]

Can't find a marriage for Peter and Dorothy so far Leicester

I think Dorothy was not from Leicestershire according to the 1841 censusm so it is likely they married in her parish where ever that may be
