Hello Ann, Others are more experienced than I, but I think that what you need is the birth certificate of one of the children to get the mother's maiden name. Are Ann and one of her children in a direct line from you? If so then it would be worth getting a birth certificate. Once you have the maiden name, then you will be sure of the correct marriage. Hope this helps, Regards, Linda ----- Original Message ----- From: "anna ashley" <anna.ashley@ntlworld.com> To: <LEICESTERSHIRE-PLUS@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2008 10:48 AM Subject: [LEI] (no subject) > Hello all, > im new to this list. > I have hit a brick wall and would appreciate any help available. > I am looking for the maiden name of the wife of ROBERT KENNEY B 1843 > WHETSTONE.

Roy, Whilst the name MISKELLY does not figure in my trees I used to love in Main Street Queniborough in the 50's & 60's and because it was the neighbouring village I spent quite a time in Syston(The Leicester version as there's also one in Lincolnshire I discovered only recently). The coincidences don't stop there as my Dad's ancestors originate from Witham on the Hill & or Manthorpe in the Bourne area so if you happen to stumble across a HOLMES with an interest in genealogy or see any gravestones etc relating to HOLMES if you happen to be in the W-o-t-H/Manthorpe areas I'd love to know about it.

Paul As you appear to have access to the censuses, I won't waste your time with sending images to you but go back to the index for 1871 and you'll see that there are two Robert KENNEYs both born in Whetstone in c1843 and both married to an Ann; the ones with the NEWHALL children and the other living amongst a host of KENNEYs in Whetstone.

Hello Vern, Replying via the list, as I sometimes have problems getting through to you. I'm absolutely delighted to learn of your success, and thank you so much for sharing it and for your kind words. One thing which I need to mention - talking of Google Books - is that I've recently discovered that some of the "General Baptist Repository" annual magazines, with very detailed obituaries of ministers, deacons and prominent church members, have been added to the collection. Additionally, I found that a good collection of the annual "Baptist Magazine" (also with obituaries) had also been added since I last looked. http://tinyurl.com/3wm53y ("General Baptist Repository and Missionary Observer") http://tinyurl.com/57uj2j (The "Baptist Magazine") (Those which are marked "full view" are downloadable and searchable). James Hurford Wood's "Condensed History of the Baptists of the New Connexion" (pub. 1847), which has a lot about the history of the East Midlands General Baptist (of the New Connexion) churches, is also downloadable. Given William's prominent status in the Coleorton community (and in the GBs) you may have the fortune to find a decent obituary for him - particularly in the "GB Repository". That would be the icing on the cake! Thank you again. I share your excitement! :-)) Kind regards Blanche Blanche Charles (nee Norton) Wellington New Zealand NORTON Family History Unlimited http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~blanchec/indexdby.htm East Midlands General Baptist History http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~blanchec/EMidBaps.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Vern Prescott" <vprescott1@cogeco.ca> wrote: I have a success story to share with all of you that shows how persistence and unorthodox methods can pay off.

Hello Again Fanny BUCKBY married William SHILLAKER (sometimes SHELLAKER) in the Dec Q 1860 in the Oakham Reg. Dis. In 1881 William is in the census as a married man and in 1891 he is a widower. Fanny is not in the 1881, well I cannot find her, and there is no death for a Fanny between those years. Is anyone able to help with finding her in 1881 and/or her death. There is a marriage in FreeBMD for a Fanny SHILLAKER in the Jun Q 1890 in the Sheffield Reg. Dis. I don't think this is her as she is in the 1891 as the wife of John Thos HILL and is the wrong age and birthplace. Thanks for any help anyone. Mike in a cool Whakatane NZ

Thanks for the tips, Blanche. I regularly check Google books and have a list of books mentioning Stenson which I want to check out at the University Library in London, about an hour's drive from here. As you say, the library is growing and more and more books are becoming Full View.

Vern, It just shows what persistence and lateral thinking can do in breaking down walls. I'm not trying to advertise here, but I can recommend a very good book entitled "Nits and Bolts" - Family History problem solving through family reconstruction techniques, by Andrew Todd. The techniques suggested are also now made much easier than when this book was first written by the advent of internet search sites such as Ancestry.co.uk. I got my copy from Leicestershire and Rutland Family History Society bookstall, but I'm sure that it is available through other family history groups, or by ordering at any good bookshop. These techniques have enabled me to solve many a problem via a circuitous route, though I still have one or two long standing and almost immovable brick walls remaining.

Hi Adrian and list I have just seen a copy of the new booklet "Congregational Tales: four centuries of Congregational folk in Market Harborough" edited by Richard Pickering and published by Market Harborough Congregational Church. It includes a 2.5 page section on Isaac CLARK, who was Superintendent of the Sunday School for 50 years or more, and to mark whose time in office the Church built the Jubilee Hall in 1885. It includes references to other CLARK(E)s, who may or may not be related. I contributed notes on my own family at the request of the editor, but in a wholly unpaid capacity. The booklet is available from Market Harborough Congregational Church, High Street, Market Harborough LE16 7JD at £5.00 plus postage www.marketharboroughonline.co.uk/pp/gold/viewGold.asp?IDType=Page&ID=13103 email mhcc.leics@hotmail.co.uk Best wishes Peter Peter B Freshwater MA MCLIP FSAScot Edinburgh, Scotland peter@hillfoot.demon.co.uk Researching BRUCE, FOLWELL, FOX, FRESHWATER, PERKINS, SWINGLER (Beds, Leics, Northants) HAUGHAN, JOHNSTONE, RICHARDSON (Annandale, Cumberland, Durham) DOW, FINDLAY, GRAY, JACK(SON), KENNEDY (Angus, Glasgow, Perth)
