Next up is the County of Leicestershire, England, which is named through what used to be its chief city, Leicester. Like Bristol, Leicester has now been made into it’s own County. But in the timeframe we are exploring they were one in the same place.

Leicestershire is a landlocked county in the English Midlands which borders Lincolnshire, Staffordshire and is near the county of West Midlands, which surrounds Birmingham, England. Any of those could figure prominently in connecting this tree and all will be coming up as I progress through the rest of Ian’s collection.

In Leicestershire we find a single Pedigree. Follow the link below to review the Descendants of this line:

• leicestershire-pedigree-01 (before 1800 in Leicestershire)

That is it for tonight. Next up is Lincolnshire!
