    Default Leicestershire Archives

    I go fairly regularly to the Leicestershire Archives and am willing to do look-ups for members (parish registers and others). They have an online catalogue but it is far from complete.
    Please post as much information as possible for the best result.

    Hello Maz - I have had a long search through Leicester City births but haven't yet found Susannah. There are a couple of small parishes I have yet to search - I will do that sometime next week - but I doubt if she will be there. The images are reasonable so I don't think I have missed anything.
    Leicester City marriages 1750-1800 have been transcribed and are on CD so are easy to search. There are only two possible Smart couples - Thomas Smart & Sarah Payne married Nov 1865 but I could only find children John Thomas & Elizabeth. William Smart & Sarah Hunt married October 1866 - I didn't find any children but will double check.
    So maybe she was born somewhere in the county after all.
    I'll be in touch again at the end of next week.

    Any time Elaine as long as you are prepared to wait a couple of weeks and thank you for your offer.
    I am curious - who is Gertrude Wills?

    Grandad was born 1907

    John Henry Wills 1 Northumberland Street, Marylebome to Gertrude Wills, Cook/Domestic Foley Street St Marylebone.

    I think Northumberland Street was the workhouse, not quite the private clinic I was told, being the birth was supposedly something to do with the cigarette family Wills. On telling my aunt about Gertrude, she had always thought Gertrude was an aunt. However, my dad always said he was a Barnardo's boy, not true as I paid for a search. I have since found this piece of info

    1911 Census (RG14PN1414 RG78PN49 RD17 SD1 ED33 SN355)
    Believe grandad is with another family
    Living at 99 Old End Road, Bethnal Green
    John Samuel King Head 47 Married Road Sweeper Borough Council Bethnal Green worker Halstead, Essex
    Rosa King Wife 39 Married Catford Kent
    Rose King Daughter 12 School Bethnal Green
    John Henry Wills Adopted Son 3 City of London

    and my aunt's middle name is ROSA.

    Am sure this is him but have nothing else for Gertrude.
