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

Can anyone help with providing Kins/cey transcriptions from Coleorton Parish.**I have a Thomas Kins/cey b.c. 1798 who I am trying to find info. for. When he married Eliza Ridgway at St.Werburgh~ Dby. in 1836 he was listed as a farmer at Breedon.

I am searching for a Thomas Kinsey (b.c. 1798) who married Eliza Ridgway (b.c. 1819) at St.Werburgh~ Dby. 16 December 1836. On the parish marriage register he is shown as a farmer at Breedon. He does not appear as far as I can see in Breedon/ Worthington P/R's. As Coleorton~ Worthington~ Breedon on Hill families were closely connected can anyone provide printout of Kins/cey entries in Coleorton Parish Registers up to 1812 or provide info. on Thomas (b.c.1798) and his parents.**If anyone else is searching for Kins/cey I can provide a great deal of info. re. those of Leicester origins.**

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

Trying to trace my ancesters who had a business in Shepshed in the early 1900 possibly around the Bull Ring/Kirk Hill Shepshed. I think my grandfather's name was Ernest Jordan and his wife possibly Sarah. i also believe he was connected with the Town Band.

Several family historians independantly researching their Skermer ancestors **have 'met' on internet sites such as www.genesconnected.co.uk and shared their **research. Between us we have traced the Skermer surname in Belton through a **long series of Johns Skermer back to 1547 (they were farmers of land which they **owned in the parish). Five of us~ related as 4th~ 5th and 6th cousins~ are **meeting for the first time~ having lunch in the village then taking a tour **around. If you have Skermer blood in your ancestry then please join us~ we **would love to meet you.
