A very interesting read and lovely to see the history of Earl Shilton and local areas.

I'm married to a Wright which is what caught my eye when google bought up this website.

Although he was bought up in Oadby and we moved to Kirkby Mallory 6 years ago.

Thank you for the informative History into the Wrights of Earl Shilton.

I enjoyed it fully.

Interesting site, unfortunately to late for the reaserch I am doing on Cicely Pickering, local artist who lived at Abbey Craig opposite the school.

Cicely born 1909 attended school up to1926. Are there any photos from her period?
She was a contempory of Elizabeth Coxhead whos father was a headmaster.
Would love to hear from anyone.

We are staging an Exhibition at Hinckley Museum 2009 season to celebrate Cicely's centenary.

Keep up the good work on this interesting site.

I am researching Cope family and looking for information on Samuel Cope of Rocester b. about 1771.
I enjoyed looking at your site and very informative it is indeed. I am only sorry I don't find my own line there - it would have been so much help.
Best wishes  Anne, Northants.

Well done, Dad your site is really thorough and easy to use. One tiny detail that does need amending though - Steven and I have been married for just over two years and the info you have still has us as a common law couple! (Married 27th March 2004 at Peel registry, Isle of Man.) Having moved to the Isle of Man in 2003, I don't get to visit Earl Shilton very often, but on this site I can 'see' more of my family than most people ever get the chance to! Thanks for creating such a wonderful record! Gaynor (Now Hewings, was Pearson, maiden name Cope)

Congratulations on your excellent web site.  Your information is so extensive, very well organized and easy to navigate. I came across this site when searching for information on the Woodward, Harrold and Kiddle families from the Hinckley and Barwell areas.  Many thanks for your prompt reply to my inquiry.

I came across your web site last night while searching for information about framework knitting and the hosiery trade in Earl Shilton. Your family history was most interesting to read and there were some useful details about local history that I didn't know, such as the church only being used for marriages after 1854. I enjoyed the way you contextualised your family in local history, making it a fascinating account for the reader.

My maternal grandfather was born in Earl Shilton in 1896, one of the Toon family. They lived in Station Road, about which you provided a brief history (I also have a photo of him as a boy in the skating rink). My brother and I have both been working on the Toons and associated families, particularly the Lynes Pratts and we have now traced the Earl Shilton Toons back to the early eighteenth century. The Lynes Pratts are more intractable as there is inconsistent use of the surnames Lynes, Pratt and Lynes Pratt. If your research has touched on any of these family names, it would be interesting to know what you have discovered about them.

Thank you again for your informative web site,

Best wishes,

Rosemary Collins

Neat site revolving around COPE and NEEDHAM families. This site contains a family tree, nicely linked together and providing the basic information. Each ancestor page has links to further information, including wills. There are also links to descendants charts and much more. The structure makes for easy navigation, and the design is easy on the eye. A nice touch is an historical timeline showing events around that ancestor's lifetime.

What a wonderful insight to your family! Interesting background to their daily lives, as you say Brannon, "flesh on the bones". Will certainly visit your site again to read more about it. I have a long way to go on my own family after reading yours!

Well done, regards Angela Di Santo
