Hi Mike, sorry didnt get back before, my husbands name was ROBERT GEORGE HODSON Born April 17th 1933 in Ibstock Father was ROBERT JOSEPH HODSON ,KILLED IN ACTION WW2 19THOCT 1944 AGED 36. MARRIED IRENE JEFFERIES. Thanks for you help, Margaret

bit confusing with 2 lou`s talking here lol

Lou from leicestershire I guess we'll have to add the other bit then! Jan

lol it is a bit confusing huh? I'm not sure on the London Road question Lou. I was under the impression it was Coalville but as I say I don't know the area that well. Mike is there any chance you have census records for Leicestershire for 1871??? I'm trying to find Joseph Clamp b. Ibstock circa 1860. He's on the 1881 at White Hills, Hugglescote and Donnington as a coal miner and married but I'd like to find him with his own family before that and he's the furthest back I've got on that side. Would appreciate any assistance from that multitude of discs you have lol thanks. Lou

Greeting's to the two Louise's. . . . The London Road Cemetery you are looking for in Coalville is on the London Road ( A511 or old A50) Coming from Leicester. . . . Go STRAIGHT ON at the roundabout (Don't take New By Pass ) This is now London Road At the next junction Pub on the right and Car Showroom on left. GO STRAIGHT ON. The Cemetery is on your left approx. opposite Park Road. Lou from Lingstone. . . . Working on your enquires. . . . The 1871 Census is not out yet. . .(They are working on it now) So having a look at 1861. Census. . . Are you sure that the Joseph on 1881 is the right one you want ? On the 1861 Census. . . . I've found another Joseph. Christened 21st. March 1861. Ibstock. Mother Catherine(35) Father Joseph (Snr). 39. Born in Osbaston. ( Carrier ) Living at Deans Lane Ibstock. Joseph Jnr. was aged 2. born in Ibstock on this census. MIKE.

jan ok you go to it then i will have to comeover to coalvile sometime as my gran and family r from there so want to look for stuff but if youmlive close you mite aswell do it :-))

Anyone coming to visit Coalville don't be surprised when there's no car showroom on the left - East Midlands Housing has flats there now! The pub on the right used to be the traditional Fox and Goose but is now Minnesota's (yuk!) Lou from Leicestershire I'll go to London Road then as it's marginally nearer - and hopefully not in the rain!

Yeah Mike, I'm sure he's the right one on the 1881 as I have him on that and the 1891 and 1901... all with his wife, Susannah and various children and all at Hugglescote and Donnington. Joseph is aged 21, 31, and 41 respectively and is a coal miner b. Ibstock on each. More to the point my Grt Grandfather Reuben is on the 1901 with them aged 8. Thanks for taking time to look anyway. Lou

Lou In Livingston I've been to London Road cemetery, a sad and neglected place. There are still large headstones and monuments standing and just a few very small headstones on the lines T.R. 1895. There were no headstones for William BURTON but I did find this inscription: In Loving memory Sarah, wife of the late George Burton of Whitwick, died Nov 21 1912 aged 69 years Also their dearly loved son L Corp Harold Sidney Killed in action May 26th 1915 aged 42 years Jan

Greeting’s Again Louise in Livingston. . . I Think this is Joseph’s Family . . From the 1861. Census . RG9 2265 Page 36. From the Original Census Returns. . . Entry No. 183.. .

But I’m seeking second opinion. . . I’ll get back to you. Hope this helps you get further back in your search. MIKE.

can any of you tell me where i can go to find out bout land deeds i have some from the coalville area ( as far as i can tell they r anyway) but its hard to tell exactly where it is lou

Greeting's Lou . . . . Have you typed " Land Deeds " into Goggle ? Loads of info there. . . But in the meantime I'll have a word with my Solicitor friend tomorrow . . . . MIKE.

Mike I think the census should say HUGGLESCOTE and Donington, rather than Hugglesthorpe. Jan

Greeting's Jan. . . . " Cheers M' Duck......"

mike thanx have tried that but at the moment struggle with the speed of the internet especially wen i have several things going at the same time but tomorrow am getting broadband at last...i know iv been saying it for ages but actually sorted it out at last....lol

Mike I very nearly offered your services to a lady on the records board looking for Leicester baptisms, but I suddenly thought perhaps you wouldn't want all and sundry deluging you with requests so I haven't done anything about it! Sue Had my first Leic & Rutland FHS journals today and the name that leapt out at me from the members' interest pages was....RINGROSE! I seem to notice it everywhere! Jan from Donington in a downpour! (thunder and lightening at no extra cost!)

Hi Jan, They get every where don't they I have not got mine yet for this quarter, is it me looking for them lol? Sue........
