My Grandfather John William Tyler~ born 1893 came from Ibstock. He was a champion cyclist who was killed on his bike in 1923 when he was returning home from Coalville. I have a newspaper article about his death but no identification re the Newspaper. My Great Grandfather had a shop in 5 High Street Ibstock he sold bicycles etc. I believe his name was John also. My grandfather was in the Coldstream guards from 1915 to 1916. My Mother and her siblings were also born in Ibstock and their registration was at Market Bosworth. Any information would help in my research.

I am looking to find out any information that I can on my family. My grandfather George Stevens was born in Stockingford and his mother Alice Stevens in Hartshill (although I can find no record of her birth). She was the daughter of Henry and Hannah Stevens who lived in Grove Road Stockingford back in 1911. If anyone out there has a connection to this family I would very interested to hear from them.****Regards**Sarah Green

• I have started to research the Hodgkins family tree. I can go back to 1865- Great grandfather. I think there could be some links in the Hodgkins names. Please leave a message if you are still interested. Janice

We had a great time and still have so much gratitude in **our hearts for all we learned~ and for the brilliant hospitality of all the **good people of the Churches of the Hinckley Circuit and of the Congregations of **the Church of England of Hinckley and Higham-on-the-Hill. ****We miss you all and wish we could be there to go carolling with you again this **year. It was 85 degrees here today. Sunny and does not look like winter except **for the many decorations and twinkling Christmas lights.****The roads are clogged with the tourists who once again are here in Florida by **the thousands. We had such hurricanes~ 5 of them~ that it is wonderful that **life has once again returned to normal and the mess of the storms has been **mostly cleaned up entirely.**We were not hurt here but many had damage that was severe.**We all pulled together to help one another and it is behind us now.** **We were there last winter and had such a brilliant time.****Dr. Michael and Ursula Cox were our brilliant hosts.**We do hope they had a memorable Anniversary Event in September. Wish we could **have been there.****They are the very best hosts anyone could have.**The many who welcomed us into their homes taught us much about gardening~ great **cooking~ fresh vegetables~ and the beautiful way they prepare such delicious **meals there.****Eveline Overton and her husband were great hosts~ too.**We were in so many homes~ with such lovely people of great faith.**It humbles us to recall the generous nature of all the people there in that **region of England. The Midlands.**We enjoyed so much the people of the Higham-on-the-Hill Methodist and also the **Church of England located there in the lovely Village.** **What good and beautiful people joined in singing Carols on at Christmas time. **We wish we could join them again this year but we are here in Florida~ USA **getting ready for Christmas here.** **We miss all of you.**Please give our best regards to Dr. Michael and Ursula Cox and the good people **of the Churches of Higham-on-the-Hill.** **So wish we could go carolling again with the group.** **We value so highly the book written by Dr. Cox on Higham-on-the-Hill. ** **We have had our Presidential election and realize that many of England do not **understand the mind/thinking of we here in America. But in our opinions we **sense that most Americans are very happy with President George W.
