I am searching my family tree and get stuck on this gentleman Mr William Platts~ wife was Elizabeth Mann. We can only find his mother~ Mary Smith~ his father is documented as John King. **William took the Smith surname and the King surname but married as a Platts. Was he addopted~ illegitamate. **He was an Iron Puddler and had 10 children. Can anyone shed any light on the real name of his father?**Would love to "nail" this one as it would open the floodgates as to my true ancestry. He was born in Coleorton

I am working on the genealogy of the Tilley family and the connection with mining in the Linton and Church Gresley areas where I know the lived and worked from about 1820 to 1910. Thomas was a common male surname for the eldest son/father for three generations and I know they lived in Station Rd in Gresley around 1881 - 1891 and that this still exists. Any help welcome.****Regards****AndyB.

I have traced my ancestors back to John Pullin (christened in Mancetter 1750)who married Ann Thompson in Baddesley Ensor in 1780. His Parents were John Pullin from Swepstone & Catharina (nee Norris). Married in 1745 in Mancetter. I believe his grangparents were John Pullin (or possibly spelt Pullyn)~ born in Swepstone in 1710.**Does anyone have any more information please?

• I have now confirmed that John Pullyn, born in 1685 & married in 1710 at Swepstone church to Anne Barre, was my 6* great grandfather. His 8 children were baptized in the church & 4 of them were buried in the churchyard. His parents were Richard & Elizabeth, but I have not been able to trace their origins or any birth, marriage or burial information or dates. Can anyone help please?

Further to my previous posting regarding William Thompson - who worked as a Game Keeper in Cole Orton. I have checked the previous pages of the 1841 census and note that many of the residents lived in Farm Town. Does anyone know of a large estate there abouts?****Many thanks - any information really appreciated

I was born feb. 1938. My mother~ Olive Hayes~ gave address as The Crest~ Donisthorpe. I now belive it should have been The Crest~ Linton. Her mother~ Anne Hayes~ had an address in High Street.**Does anyone have any information on the Hayes family or the family that Olive may have married into after 1938?

Hello~ I am searching for info on my maternal grandmother's family.**I know that the family name was Cull~ and they had a bakery in Moira. Would the family still be in Moira? Where would the bakery have stood?**The only thing I have so far is a record of the daughter Louisa's marriage~ in 1910~ recorded at Ashby De La Zouch district. Thanks in advance!
