I am trying to find any information about my Quilter family who lived in Ellistown in the early 1900s. I was given a pocket watch that belonged to Harry Quilter who died in Ellistown in 1907. I have his death certificate but cant find his burial. Hugglescote cemetery opened in 1908 and that’s where most of his family ended up but l have searched everywhere and cant find his burial. I would be interested in any ideas where to look and l would like to hear from anyone researching the Quilter family. Andy

Have you thought of Ibstock cemetery, next village to Ellistown and I know that was being used in the late 1800's Gail ________________________________ From: andy <samiun@ntlworld.com> To: leicester <LEICESTERSHIRE-PLUS@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, 12 November 2013, 17:25 Subject: [LEI] QUILTER I am trying to find any information about my Quilter family who lived in Ellistown in the early 1900s.
