Dear Folks, Many, many apologies for posting in HTML (didn't know I was!!). Hope this gets through, as it should be plain text. I am trying to find out if I can discover who the father was of my great x 3 grandfather Henry Edgar TUGBY (and his sister Florence Mary TUGBY). Unfortunately, both were illegitimate, but both baptised in Whitwick. Henry was born 15th July 1866 (birth place Main Street, Whitwick) and Florence born 11th Oct 1871 (birth place North Street, Whitwick). Their mother was Eliza TUGBY (born 1844), daughter of William TUGBY (born around 1801) watchmaker and post office master in Whitwick. Eliza did get married on 15th Oct 1877 to a William Taylor, a collier and then later a publican in Nottingham (Give Us Your Hand or The Hand pub in Wollaton Street, Nottingham) but I don't get the feeling that he was their father. Both Henry & Florence put a George TUGBY (deceased) as their father on their marriage certificates, but as many of you know, that may not mean a thing!!! Are there any petty sessions or such like that might have details for Whitwick? Unfortunately, I live in Cyprus, so I can't get to the archives at the moment, but I'd be very grateful for any help or advise. Many thanks, Jo in sunny Paphos. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo! For Good helps you make a difference http://uk.promotions.yahoo.com/forgood/
