Citation
Alan, do you have more detailed citation (i.e. publisher, date) for Notes on Sibson? Tearlach 08:37, 12 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Re Sibson. Sources mostly from Nichols and midland research for thesis in Public Record Office, Leicestershire Record Office &c. 1980s-2006. These notes on Sibson have not been previously published. Am hoping to include jpeg illustrations but still a novice to Wikipedia.


 * Thanks. You have be to be a bit cautious about unpublished material because of the WP:NOR policy. Tearlach 09:27, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Tudor Atherstone
Thanks for your contributions. Could you please plainly define what Tudor Atherstone (a city, if so where? and when was it established?) in the first sentence. It is hard to categorize without knowing the basics. - RoyBoy 800 05:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Royboy: "Tudor Atherstone" really means Atherstone in Tudor times ie. 1500s. Will re-write this so its more precise. Thanks. Alan R.

Shenton Tree/estate
Alan - can you confirm andor give me a source for the statement that Captain Shenton's estate passed through his daughters ? The memorial in the Childrens Corner of All Saints Church in Husbands Bosworth (http://www.husbandsbosworth.info/allsaints.html) suggests that he had male descendants into the twentieth century ("The Shenton Memorial on the wall of the Children’s Corner is of great interest. It contains the swords of two members of the Shenton family. John Shenton fought as a Royalist at the Battle of Naseby in 1645 and Austin Kirk Shenton, nine generations later"). A pedigree indicates John had a son Samuel who outlived Captain John, but no indication of descendants of Samuel. Thanks. Oops. Signature added ScottSS 03:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
