With
the upsurge in interest in genealogy and
local history, Sileby is embarrassed by
the lack of decent historical material in
print. There was a small series of historical
pamphlets by Ray Hunting in the 1970's and
various small articles in the now defunct
Stockade Parish magazine, but very little
else.
The 'Sileby Historical Record Series' is
a programme of transcribing and publishing
historical source material relating to the
village.
Currently
the project is involved with putting the
Parish Registers of St Mary, Sileby into
print. I also aim to publish various other
classes of record such as probate wills
and inventories to help both the curious
and more serious researcher.
