On the map Odstone is south west of a place called Ibstock, which itself is south west of Coalville. Kath. x

I have a Eliza Jarvis who was born about 1831 in Adstone, Leicestershire. She married a John Wells in 1852 in Market Harborough. Where abouts in Leicestershire is Adstone? I am trying to find her on the 1841 census and it isn't coming up as a parish. Thanks Vicky

Sorry, my mistake. It was mistranscribed as Adstone on 2 censuses. It should be Odstone. Vicky X

I've checked on Memory-Map and there are only two Adstones mentioned. One is in Shropshire and the other in Northamptonshire. Kath. x
