KEY (with link to Key by Parishes page)
Z
* = a
first name; or a surname
used as a first name e.g. *123 Ronald Jones PARKES
A+B+C etc. = separate indexes within the
transcription
DB =Domesday Book
MIs = Monumental Inscriptions (ie from
tombstones)
NLW =
National Library of Wales
OE = Old English
otp = of this parish
wcof = with consent of friends
wcop = with consent of parents
(x) made their mark
Take note of the number(s) with the name
in which you
are interested
and then refer to the 'KEY' page (link above)
to identify the register(s). Alternatively, by using the 'Key by
Parishes'
page, you can find the reference number for the register in which you
are interested before going to any particular surname. If the
register number is not with the surname then the surname does not occur
in that register transcription.
When researching in the details below it is best to
concentrate on one surname/parish at a time. Copy
everything you
find into
date order disregarding the
different spellings for the particular surname; and be aware that
where there are only first names
(or no first names!) with any of the reference numbers, extra details
can be added on
request, then check this page again later.

Introduction: ..... according to the Rev. J.
Curtis, head master of the Ashby
free grammar school, in his excellent Topographical
History of Leicestershire, it
appears that Ivo, the Norman, held it (the castle) in 1086; and that,
in 1259, it
was possessed by Alan la Zouch, whose descendants retained it for more
than
three hundred years, and gave their name, as a distinctive appellation,
to the
town.....
