My research has lead me to a gentleman by the name of Robert Laundon Adkinson. Through researching and using Kelly's directories I have found he had property at 1 Market Place and 10 Hotel Street, Leicester. I understand that one of these properties was called Stilton House. It washowever understood that he owned 8 Hotel street, however I have not been able to find any documentation that he did indeed own it. Has any body done research or could tell me who I should contact for information about these properties? Judith Gardiner Wellington, New Zealand kiwipop@xtra.co.nz |

My ancestors have been traced to Bridge in Kent but we do not know where they came from? I have been told by a great uncle that he believes that the family were from Rutland and that in about 1780 Richard Sherrard with his wife Catherine, moved south after a dispute with Richard's family. If there are any researchers who have come across a Richard Sherrard in the 1700's please could they contact me. Barry Bryant bryant.barry@ymail.com |

I have an ancestor, her married name was Elizabeth Husing, she was married to Claus Husing. They started having children in 1800 in Bermondsey, London. Elizabeth declares her place of birth on census records as Leicestershire.Her maiden name is unknown to me, however one of her children was called Barbara Bryan Husing. Was Bryan her mothers maiden name ? Claus Husing was born in Germany abt. 1770. Elizabeth never left the London area.
Any help would be much appreciated. Bob Roberts bobandjanet@btinternet.com |

I am researching my husband's family tree and know from the censuses of 1851 and 1861 and a family bible that his gt.gt. grandfather was a baptist minister living at the Bethesda Baptist chapel in Uppingham. Along with the family bible we have a photo album belonging to the Reverend Hardwick. Unfortunately, however, we do not know who many of the subjects are.
The reason that I am contacting yourselves, though, is that there are some photos of a "stately home" , on the back of which is the name of the photographer " Drake of Uppingham" I am attaching scans of these in case anyone out there can identify the house and thus solve a family mystery. The name Hardwick Hall, by the way, is the name by which the family has always referred to this building!

I am researching my great grandfather and i think he may have run theWhite Lion pub in Oakham in 1912. His name was William Fouracre. I am certain a man by this name ran the pub during these years as I have found details in a phone register. So would you be able to point me in the right direction so that I canfind out some more information. Would landlords during this time in Oakham have had to have registered with the local authorities? Or do you know of a book about Oakham during 1900s which may include the White Lion/
