Leicestershire memories
Rev. Exall
Hello, I was very interested to read the post that mentions Reverend Exall who was my ancestor. Unfortunately I don't know much about him so if anyone has any anecdotes or such, I would be very interested. A. James.
The Abney Family Tree
My Abney ancestors originated in England and lived in Belvoir Castle. I live in Texas and on a trip to England, we were to tour Belvoir Castle. My mother had always been interested in genealogy but I had not had the time to delve into it. Her cousin had compiled a lovely book about the Abney family which I had not taken the time to read before my trip. As we were traveling on our tour bus, my friend who was with me, asked to read this book and in a few moments, she said "This castle where we are going is where your Abney family originated." Of course, I thought she was teasing but as it turned out, she was not. My interest in genealogy perked up from that moment on and I have spent these past few years tracing down my family trees.

Gertrude Betts
My grandmother was born in Holwell in 1892. Her name was Gertrude Ellen Betts and her parents were William and Rose Ella Betts. Does anybody have any information about them please?
Emma And John Hewerdine
I remember my grandma telling me that her mum, Frances Hewerdine, came from beautiful Scalford and she was a real lady, and somewhere along the line Frances's parents had a dress shop. Sadly I don't know where Emma and John were buried, or I would take flowers. Does anyone else have memories along these lines to share? I would love to share someone's memories of Scalford for about 1850 onwards.
Village Hall
I now live in Australia but I have fond memories of going to the pictures at the hall and also being terrified when having to partake in the school plays at Christmas which were held in the hall.
My parents ran the Shell Sevice Station and Cafe for about four years (Gwen and Eric Simms) 1953-1957.
If there is anyone who was at school with me or my brothers who would like contact I would be pleased to hear from them.

John Thomas Hopkins
I have just found out that my grandad was born in Upper Broughton in 1876. If anyone can help me with any information I would be extremely grateful.
