Hi all If you look in the 1841 census for Syston, you'll find a William and Maria Cook on what looks like Highway Road. William's profession is listed as Publican. I've not been able to exactly pinpoint which pub this is, but I seem to remember the closest one I found is what is now the Midland, which is near the railway bridge. It looks like there's a butchers' next door. Does anyone have any old lists or anything that might shed any light on which pub it was? The road no longer exists... Thanks all! PS as I've renewed my Ancestry membership I'm happy to do the odd lookup again :)

Hi. Do any of these cook people connect to the Cooks in South Croxton it's not that far away.
