Hallo That's an awful lot of looking up - 500 years. What does FamilySearch, FreeREG and FMP have that could help you. Does Leicestershire Family History Society have any CDs you could purchase? Is there any mention of these names in this list's archives? You say you have references to baptisms and burials in the parish. What dates specifically? Do you have actual names? Where did you find these? Have you tried Tribal Pages or GOONS? -- Connie http://oursalmons.wordpress.com/

Alas, no, but due to the date of this report, hopefully it will be useful to someone else on the list. At least, thanks to this report, I may now know where my relatives are not located!

    3. Hi, Verne, Coalville did exist as a "sort of" community but may not have been called Coalville. As I understand it, parts of Coalville used to belong to the much older community of Hugglescote. My relatives, the Padleys, lived in the same residence on the same street from the late 1850s through the early 1890s. On the early birth, marriage, and death certificates, the family was in Hugglescote. The later certificates say they lived in Coalville. This has caused me no end of frustration sorting out these people. Finally, a kind librarian at the Coalville public library set me straight on the history. It sounds like you are searching even earlier than I, so this news may or may not be helpful to you. Carolyn

    3. Thanks for this Barbara Someone sent me a message directly yesterday and suggested Page Plus. I have downloaded the free starter version to try out, but I'm not sure the free version will do everything. I also downloaded Scribus which if a free open source programme and have started experimenting with it. I found some basic videos on using Scribus which are helpful in getting a start.

    3. Thanks Carolyn, I will contact them and ask. I am rather confused, because I have checked on the Plimer brothers and they died in 1822 and 1837. Coalville supposedly got it's name from William STENSON's residence Coalville House which I think was only built in the 1830's, so I'm not sure that Coalville really existed while the Plimer's were alive.

At first I thought Miss Stenson might have been the owner of the miniature but the later item about George Washington seems to prove that Miss Stenson was the subject of the miniature.
