My ancestor left Cosby in 1853 for the USA, so can I count myself an "ex-pat"? I hope so, since I feel very much at home in the Midlands. In visiting that ancestral town, I was pleased to find the church hall bears the name BUNNING HALL. All of which inspired us to trace my ancestry back and through Cosby to Rutland.

My first school was in Hinckley; I have forgotten the name of the road just off the junction of Leicester road, and just below the fire station. I used to walk from Park farm; there is a golf coarse there now. One memory of that school was the army trucks going by the school all day; must have been in 1941, as we moved to Upton House Farm, Upton in 1942 and I went to Sibson village school; this was a one teacher one room school and I forget the teacher's name. We had a new cook house built while I was there. The teacher was very handy with the cane too; on one occasion, she had a bundle of new cane`s about 6 inches in diameter much to the dismay of the younger children. It happened that I had noticed where the key for her locked cupboard was put, as I was the one to make up the fire to keep the room warm, so you can guess where the canes went. My penance was to break her coal and chop the sticks for her fire every lunch time for the rest of the time I was at the school. From there I went to Market Bosworth Secondary Modern and left at 14 (in 1947) to start work on the farm. I also lived Lutterworth and Bulkington and then back in Hinckley. Emmigrated in 1967.

Hello, hello!!! I was born in Leicester in 1951. My parents were Margaret and Isaac Smith. I attended Uvedale High School, a private school on Uppingham Road (no longer there). My Grandfather was Noah Smith who owned a scrap metal business on Trafford Road. During my early years I lived on King Edward Road and Trafford Road where I had many wonderful neighbors and made lots of wonderful memories. My father died in 1956 (I think that was the year) and my mother later remarried an American service man who brought me, my mum, and young brother (Mark) stateside. We left England in 1963 and have only visited as tourists since then. My family remains in the Leicester area. I am living in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I would love to hear from anyone that may know me from those early years, or now. Or any other Leicesterite, that would like to chat.
