I apologise if you get this twice, I have not seen it come up on the list. So will try again. Someone asked about Alias otherwise known as. It is quiet often the name of the father from an illegitmate birth. Margaret

The Harborough Hotel, Melton Mowbray, presumably takes its name from The Earls of Harborough, who lived in nearby Stapleford Hall, and possibly owned parts of Melton too. The family name was Sherard, hence the eponymous thoroughfare in Melton Mowbray.

It flooded about 5 years ago in a heavy storm so may well have flooded in your grandfather's day, which tends to support your belief that he was in Melton rather than Market Harborough. Melton Mowbray was THE place for hunting and anybody who was anybody would come for the hunting season (October-March), as both the Cottesmore and Belvoir hunts were (and are) active. The Rothschilds may well have come up too. The Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII, was a well known visitor in the 1930s as was Wallis Simpson. The saying, "painting the town red", originates from Melton when some blue bloods got very drunk and literally did just that, about 1825, if I remember correctly. And there always have been rumours of those scattered blue blood genes! The Harborough Hotel is still there and still open for business, if ever you visit. It is just a across the road from the railway station, so handy for all those hunting types.

On a more serious note, apparently the Harboro Hotel in Melton Mowbray has been used historically as a measure of the height of floods! http://www.cig.ensmp.fr/~iahs/hsj/470/hysj_47_01_0067.pdf This document is a bit long-winded and lapses into French in places but is very interesting. Apparently the Leicestershire Record Office should have a section entitled "Floods"!!! I am particularly interested in the River Wreake and tributaries so found it all fascinating but I am a bit of a nerd, arn't I?

I can tell you it was NOT The Angel Hotel in Market Harborough as my great grandfather owned that - he was George LIMBIRD.

There is and was a Harborough Hotel in Melton Mowbray, I am not aware of one of this name in Market Harborough itself. Name connected I think to Lord Harborough who once lived at Stapleford Park not far away. I hadn't heard the Rothschild story before, though Melton at one time harboured half the land's aristocracy in the hunting season (must be a lot of scattered blue blooded genes there then).

If you get no takers from this list, there are several national websites which try to find homes for unwanted certificates, such as yours.

Hello Harvey and Eileen Interesting to read your e-mail about Bruanstone Hall. My cousin was Headmistress there, Miss Joan Moore, not sure of the dates but it was after she was at Granby Road School Leicester for many years. The Park was used as an American ArmyAir Force Camp during the War in the 1940's before the D Day Landings. I went to a little school in Winchester Avenue on the corner of Fosse Road, then to Gateway Boys School. Your e-mail certainly got the old memory box ticking. Best wishes to you both.
