Hi again Margaret Just renewed my Ancestry sub so I could look it up! William and Maria Cook, Highway Road in Syston in 1841. He's down as a publican. By the 1851 census he's dead and she's a "Pauper Schoolmistress", and her nephew John Martin is living with her. At some point I really must do some more digging around this bit of my tree!

I have got the facts wrapped around my neck Emma, I have just had a look at my tree again and its not as I remembered. I have not done any research for ages now but I now see David North was not a publican, where I got that one from I dont know. David was born in Gaddesby in 1837 in 1881 he was in syston with his wife Matilda, his occupation at that time was a Master Butcher and he was living on High Street Margaret On 16/02/2012 11:06, Emma Faulkner wrote: > Hi again Margaret > > Just renewed my Ancestry sub so I could look it up!

Aha, well they probably knew each other at least! In fact with Maria being a schoolmistress she may even have taught him :) On 16 February 2012 11:36, fabis <[email protected]> wrote: > I have got the facts wrapped around my neck Emma, I have just had a look > at my tree again and its not as I remembered.
