Hi everyone, I want to thank Terry & Mark for their responses. I didn't know there was a All Saints Church in Leicester. I got a film from the LDS for Loughborough, on the film are records from St. Margarets Church. There is a chance there may be some ancestors of mine at St. Margarets too. Thanks so much for all of your help. Mickey Flaville

In the past few days I received some additional information from a descendant of Rose Broadhurst, born Ashby de la Zouch LEI 1838, who married John Sharpe. She had a son out of wedlock, while living in the home of her parents, Stephen and Sarah Broadhurst, her son named Thomas Broadhurst. My correspondent is a descendant of Sarah Broadhurst, youngest child of Thomas Broadhurst. I believe that there are relatives of this family on the Broadhurst list.

Hello everyone, My direct ancestors are John GRUNDY who married 5.8.1740 in Fenny Drayton, Leicestershire to Elizabeth BALLARD. I have the descendants of them. ** John died 21.3.1773 in Fenny Drayton & was buried 24.3.1773 Church of St.Michael & All Angels in Fenny Drayton, Leics.....The Memorial stone says aged 64 therefotre born c 1709. ** Elizabeth died 20.4.1776 in Fenny Drayton & was buried April 1776 in Fenny Drayton....the Memorial stone says aged 55 therefore born c 1721. I have coloured photos of the memorial stones for the Grundy family from the church burial gounds in Fenny Drayton, Leics. Please could anyone help me. I'm after the birthdate, parents & any siblings of both John GRUNDY & Elizabeth nee BALLARD. The GRUNDY family was in the cotton industry & I'm descended from John Russell GRUNDY born Lancashire who was a spinner when he came out to Australia in the 1850's & was at the Ballarat goldfields, in Victoria. I look forward to any help or suggestions re the above birthdates etc. Regards, Janette Pfeifer (nee GRUNDY) in Australia.

I have Grundy in my tree, married into my Broadhurst line in Ashby de la Zouch Leicestershire. Earliest is John Grundy, date and place of birth unknown, who had a son Thomas b1766, who in turn had a son John Grundy. I have no idea whether my early John Grundy could be the one you are looking for, but any collateral info could be useful to know in sorting this out.

Question was: "Could someone tell me where St Margaret's Church in Leicestershire is in relation to All Saints Church in Loughborough." Many thanks to Terry & Mark for their replies on the question. I guess the Loughborough/Leicestershire thing just make the searching twice as complicated but not insurmountable.If anything it may just help explain why some records cannot be found. Much appreciated that you pointed this out Mark. Thanks again fella's Judy Newcastle, Ontario, Canada

To answer your specific question, - it's approximately 12 miles. But! I'm wondering if you are asking this question because you have found entries in the IGI (on familysearch.org?) for All Saints, Loughborough - that you suspect could be your Leicester ancestors? Many of these IGI entries are wrong, and should have been recorded as All Saints, Leicester. Around 50 of my ancestors were Baptised, Married, and some Buried at All Saints, Leicester - I have been to the records office in Wigston and checked myself. But almost all are recorded incorrectly as All Saints, Loughborough in the IGI. I have email them several times about it, to no avail. The distance from All Saint's, Leicester to St Margaret's is 400 yards. Mark Ashwell Leicester.

In addition to the previous answer, the age to vote (age of majority) was age 21 years until I think, 1/1/1970, when it went down to age 18 years.

Women in the UK could not vote at all until 1918, when an Act was passed allowing women over 30 to vote and to stand for Parliament. Full adult suffrage was extended to women in 1928.
