Could be birth for John Henry Brown:-

Births Mar 1888
BROWN John Henry Blaby 7a 44

Blaby is the registration district for Wigston Magna!

Yes I saw that one too. Was trying to find bmd for the children before posting it. I think Henry must really be John Henry, the others are nicknames.
Also Henry Brown (might be father)was a Shoefinisher too

Glad if it's helped

i cannot find the family i am looking for in the 1891 census.
head- samuel brown age 22
wife - mary brown age 28
daughter -beatrice age 2
daughter -edith age 4
son - henry age 3
there may even be a brother of samuel brown living there called henry age 9
leicester was the familys place of birth although the wife was born in northants. we are not sure if samuel brown and his brother henry were foundlings - there is a rumour in the family about this. if anyone with a little more experinece could help this would be great.
