Following on from the Paul's mail reporting the 1851 LDS transcription as Sheepy, I looked again at the image, and I could easily accept Sheepy, that is, Sheepy Magna. I suppose, following common practice, he would have referred to his birthplace just as Sheepy. The apparent crossing of the second character is a worry though. However, if you can find John Deeming in the Sheepy Magna baptism register, or a near parish, it will confirm it.

David, Norma: The second character of "Sheepy" isn't crossed. If you look carefully, you will see that the apparent crossing is a fainter mark, probably put there later by the clerk totalling things up, It continues well to the left of "Sheepy", through "Leicestershire". Similar marks can be seen lower down the page, through "Ansley" (hence not "Anstey" , nor "Anstry") and through Atherstone". Sheepy is very close to Grindon, as are Ansley and Bad[d]esley.

Norma You may be interested in Martyn Parsons' website, which has some information on Sheepy and neighbouring border villages. Ratcliffe Culey seems to have had some DEEMINGS. http://www.mdlp.co.uk/resources/Sheepy/index.htm Regards Ellen Spence David Franks ITC <df10@cam.ac.uk> wrote: Following on from the Paul's mail reporting the 1851 LDS transcription as Sheepy, I looked again at the image, and I could easily accept Sheepy, that is, Sheepy Magna.
