David11000 replied to sarah's discussion Sowden, Sodin, Soden of Hinckley in the group Leicestershire Genealogy"In 1861 in Leicester Workhouse was John Sodin 71 Stocking Frame work knitter b Foxton Leics, and wife Mary 68 b Kegworth. I think he might be the father of Joseph and Abraham, but it will take some work to prove it.
OK, school run!

David11000 replied to sarah's discussion Sowden, Sodin, Soden of Hinckley in the group Leicestershire Genealogy"It looks as though the 1853 marriage information is taken from the marriage cert so I don't doubt what you show. It would be very difficult to mistranscribe ag lab as framework knitter or fwk!
We're in luck. Abraham Soden's second…"

David11000 replied to sarah's discussion Sowden, Sodin, Soden of Hinckley in the group Leicestershire Genealogy"Sorry, the formatting went haywire on the 1841 census answer
It should read
Thus - For persons 15 years and under 20 write 15
20 years and under 25 write 20
25 years and under 30 write 25

I feel more confindent going forward now that can do alot of this research myself. I am…"
David11000 replied to sarah's discussion Sowden, Sodin, Soden of Hinckley in the group Leicestershire Genealogy"Registration Districts
I think what you're looking for is at http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/ , which has a list of registration districts and the parishes within those districts. It also has a list of parishes to find out which…"
David11000 replied to sarah's discussion Sowden, Sodin, Soden of Hinckley in the group Leicestershire Genealogy"Birth certificates
Certificates, birth, marriage, death, were introduced from 1 July 1837 with the start of civil registration. Prior to that date baptism, marriage and burial detail was kept by the parish in which the event took place. Hence…"

"Write the age of every person under 15 years of age as it is stated to you. For persons aged 15 years and upwards, write the lowest of the term of 5 years within which…"
sarah replied to sarah's discussion Sowden, Sodin, Soden of Hinckley in the group Leicestershire Genealogy"Hi David, yes i have him listed as a frame work knitter. However my cousin did the ancestry tree on that side of the family and I have found quite a few errors. She did the tree in the 1980's by the hard route of going to places and looking at…"
David11000 replied to sarah's discussion Sowden, Sodin, Soden of Hinckley in the group Leicestershire Genealogy"I see from your Ancestry tree (the sunset's the giveaway!) that in 1853 on Joseph's marriage, his father John is described as a framework knitter. That doesn't sound much like the ag lab which John in Bedworth was described as in…"
sarah replied to sarah's discussion Sowden, Sodin, Soden of Hinckley in the group Leicestershire Genealogy"Brilliant thank you David. I wonder if you can answer one more question for me, well a complicated one actually... You referred to the 1841 census and stated ages were rounded down - how do we know that? and secondly how do we know there are no…"
David11000 replied to sarah's discussion Sowden, Sodin, Soden of Hinckley in the group Leicestershire Genealogy"Pre 1837, therefore no birth certs!

sarah replied to sarah's discussion Sowden, Sodin, Soden of Hinckley in the group Leicestershire Genealogy"Hi David, Yes you are right. I will add a note to my family information that this is a best guess scenario and explain resaons why. I think that is all I can do at the moment with this branch.
You mention 4 children, any idea of names and I will…"
David11000 replied to sarah's discussion Sowden, Sodin, Soden of Hinckley in the group Leicestershire Genealogy"c1820 there's no certificate, just an entry in a parish register. And without knowing in which parish the marriage took place it's difficult to know where to start. One parish where it didn't take place is the obvious one, St…"
