Hi Margaret As soon as I saw the name NORTH it brought back happy memories of my childhood, of NORTHs the Toy Shop on Hinckley road I feel sure we have spoken on them before now having a look at your lot in earlier years in 1871 & 1881 Sam is enumerated in Queniborough but no address In 1891 he is at 16 Jubilee street St Margarets Leicester as a Butcher In 1901 he is at 91 Belgrave as a Butcher & Retail(er?) By 1911 he is back in Queniborough at 2 New st as a market gardener No Sam NORTH in the 1873 returns of owners of land in Leicestershire NORTHs in the above were Benjamin residing Nottingham 22 acres Isaiah Loughborough just over 1 acre James trustees of (Loughborough) just over 16 acres Mary Countesthorpe just over 19 acres Sams mother Mary Ann was enumerated in 1861 at Gaddesby as a farmer 120 acres employing 1 lab Back to 1851 Sam is with parents William and Mary in Gaddesby, William a farmer of 135 acres (1 labourer) (generally land owners made sure the enumerator knew it) Mary Ann NORTH is with son in law Joseph FISHER in Great Dalby in 1881 Probate Calendars 1912 NORTH Mary Ann of Queniborough Leicestershire widow died 14th April 1890 Administration London 18 March to Samuel North retired Butcher Effects £20 I can see what I presume is your John at 1 Melton road in 1901, I suspect he would not recognise the area today I assume your John was John Chapman NORTH of 53 Loughborough rd who died 16th July 1943, his probate was granted to Samuel Ernest MASON and Frederick Samuel NORTH a stationer and toy dealer My conclusion from the above is that like most farmers of that period, your NORTHs were tenants rather than owners I also checked the various directories and none I found gave an address, just that they were farmers and graziers It was the norm for farmers to lease their land for three year periods, it was not unusual to farm the same land for many years, often a lease passing down from father to son Land was owned by a relatively small number of people In my experience farmers quite often bought a little land themselves to retire on but could only afford small amounts It might be worth checking with Leicestershire records office to see if they have anything on leases or tenants in Queniborough, I have some from my farming relatives in Buckinghamshire and they are quite illuminating where they survive Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 09/02/2014 11:00, Fabis wrote: > > My Great Grandfather owned and ran a farm in Queniborough around 1880 > unfortunately I do not know which farm it was Sam North was a > grazier/butcher but left around 1900 and moved to Belgrave in Leicester > where he moved into being a butcher.

My Great Grandfather owned and ran a farm in Queniborough around 1880 unfortunately I do not know which farm it was Sam North was a grazier/butcher but left around 1900 and moved to Belgrave in Leicester where he moved into being a butcher.

Hi, All, Have you seen this before? I enjoy this poem so much that I decided to share. Hope it puts a smile in your day as it does for me. I do not have either a source or an author, but maybe someone will recognize the poem and will have that information. A friend who lives near Birmingham sent this to me. I think she clipped it out of a family history magazine in the UK. If you know source or author, I would appreciate having that information. Thanks and Enjoy! Carolyn in Minnesota, USA COUSIN ROSE I can't resist, I've got to look I know it's time for bed. But Cousin Rose has disappeared I think she might be dead. No, here she is - oh good, I'm wrong, She's living in a house With fourteen daughters, fifteen sons, Four mothers and a spouse. Just one more page before I stop, It's getting far too late. At least I've found old Uncle Jack Once lived in Forest Gate. Eureka! Here they are, Oops no! I don't think these are mine. "Cos Uncle Bill is now Aunt Mill And he's twenty four, not nine! Ah, here he is - but Bill's now Will And living with... my Mum? That can't be right, my cousin Dwight Is showing as their son! Ok, that's it. I have to stop It's driving me insane, A few hours of sleep are all I need Can't wait to start again!

Hi Mike I see some has been said on the subject by David but don't think he mentioned civilians In WW1 a few civilians (534) were recorded on the CWGC and can be found under Miscellaneous For WW2 under Civilian War Dead you will find 67,156 listed Plus 1,607 under miscellaneous If they died at sea it would depend upon the service they were with or their status at the time but should be recorded on the CWGC Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 04/02/2014 23:54, Mike Gould wrote: > Hi Nivard, > >> I suspect they didn't give their lives during the conflict as they > do not appear in the CWGC > > I'm not sure that not appearing in the CWGC means that they didn't die > during the war.

Hi Folks, Reposting my Brick wall, thank you for the people who tried to help earlier on last year, but I still haven't got any further. I'm trying to find the Birth, Marriage and parents of William and Hannah STAFFORD. (Please see details of their family below). I cannot find anything on Ancestry or Family Search and now I don't know where to look. William and his son Job STAFFORD I found on the 1841 Census, working as Woolcomers in Bradford Yorkshire but there no sign of Hannah Stafford, William's wife. 1. William Stafford, b. 1786? He married Hannah ? ABT 1811. Children: 2. i. Charles Stafford b. 1812. ii. William Stafford, b. 1814 in Shearsby Leicestershire England. He married Elizabeth Bates ???, 28 Sep 1835 in Leicestershire. iii. Hannah Stafford, b. 1816 in Shearsby Leicestershire. She married Thomas Shardlow, 5 Nov 1838 in Leicester England, b. 1817. 3. iv. John Stafford b. 1818. in Shearsby Leicestershire. v. James Stafford, b. 1820 in Shearsby Leicestershire, d. 25 Sep 1822 in Shearsby Leicestershire. 4. vi. Job Stafford b. 1822.in Shearsby Leicestershire, d. 1900 in Aston Birmingham. He married Eliza Eagle in 1845 at Leicestershire. Job STAFFORD and Eliza EAGLE were my G.G. Grandparents. Kind Regards Graham Rolls Western Australia

Karin If your Great Uncle was in the uniformed services (Army, Navy, Air Force), and lost his life in WWII, then he would be (unless an error has been made) listed by the CWGC, and this would include those on raiding parties, such as at Dieppe or Bruneval, as well as those lost at sea. Merchant Navy losses are also recorded. The CWGC doesn't list members of Allied Forces from the occupied countries serving under British command (Norwegians, Poles. French etc). I think the answer to your problem is there in plain sight in what you've written. Private or civilian travel between the continent and Great Britain was virtually impossible during the war, so you can almost certainly rule out a "privately sponsored group" going to France. "Civilian" flights to neutral Sweden were made using converted Mosquitoes fighter-bombers, whose speed allowed them to outrun the German fighters over Denmark and Norway. (These flights were vital for the importation of ball bearings so necessary for the war industry). Spain and Portugal were also neutral and most civilian air-traffic went via Lisbon (and Ireland), flying in an arc well to the west to avoid the Luftwaffe over the Bay of Biscay. The actor, Leslie Howard, was killed on one of these flights when it was shot down in 1943. All new arrivals, including refugees, in Britain were questioned extremely closely to prevent the infiltration of German agents and saboteurs. Anyone the least suspect ended up at the "Royal Victoria Patriotic School" in Wandsworth for interrogation, possibly for some time, until it was established one way or another as to whether or not they were a security threat. Karin, if your Great Uncle disappeared doing clandestine work in France, then he would have been in one of several "secret services", and these people are also not in CWGC database. These services include: S.I.S Secret Intelligence Service better known as MI6 S.O.E. The Special Operations Executive set up in 1940 to "set Europe ablaze". MI9 Tasked to set up escape networks on the continent, especially for downed aircrew. The Poles, Czechs, French and other allies had their own secret services operating out of Britain during WWII co-ordinating with the British services. The RAF even parachuted Soviet NKVD agents into Western Europe for Stalin as the Russians didn't have any aircraft of their own with the necessary range to fly to the drop zones from their own territory (Operation Pickaxe). (The Americans didn't learn of this until about a decade later!) SIS records are closed, and I'm not familiar with the records for MI9. Personal files for SOE members are in the National Archives in Kew in class HS9. Many are still closed, however, where proof of death is available they can be opened with an FOI request.

Hi In 1914 there were approx two dozen Adult Schools in Leicester and all those members of the West End [Narborough Road/Hinckley Road] branch that enlisted had their photographs taken and put into an album. After the war the father of one of those killed presented a wooden plaque commemorating all those that gave their lives but this has since been lost. When they sold the building the album was permanently loaned to the Wigston RO and my mum who is a member and on the Leicestershire Executive would like to find out what happened to them all. At present I only have a list of their names and where known, the regiment they served with but in the next few days I will be receiving from them a copy of the actual photographs as well. If anyone has any information on anyone can they please contact me and I will then be able to forward a copy on to them.
