Hi Diddy and Thankyou.

I was fairly sure that Thomas Senior (the father of the Thomas that died in 1724 and buried at Shepshed) died in 1720 and was buried Belton on October 15 1720. But now that you point it out I am not sure what the 5 signifies. Two records later there is a "William Cooper was buried 6 December 30" So maybe it is a plot number? Six records after Thomas is "Alice Chester was buried February 8" which is Thomas' wife who died in 1721 (well at least that is what I am thinking).

The administration document for Thomas. It is dated 1720 and has his residence as Grace Dieu - I suppose Belton was the nearest parish? Administrators are son Thomas of Shepshed, a mason and Thomas Mosley of Shepshed a Cordwainer. 

Yes Please! Regarding the Chester burial Inscriptions at Shepshed.

Best Regards and Thanks again.

John Chester
