Hi out there Wondering if anyone out there can help with our quest to find Baptism of George Gilbert around 1821. He married Grace Strike in South Hill around 1844-i have the wedding listed. Grace's dad was called William and George's dad was also William Gilbert. But we have yet to find a baptism for him in the areas surrounding South Hill and Golborn area. On one of the census -think it may have been 1851 or 1861-he was said to be born in Calstock but we have been unable to find a birth or baptism there at all. We have a feeling he may have been born in Devon-some family rumour i think-not sure. Can anyone out there find a birth or baptism of a george gilbert to a william gilbert in or around 1821 please. I know its a hard one so i wont hold my breath but i know you are amazing on here. thanks frankie
Hi fizzy Thanks for that-yes thats the correct george. We are trying to find his baptism if possible. is there anyone out there who can spot it either in Devon or Cornwall? i know this is a tough one so i am not expecting any luck-so i will be amazed if anyone manages to track him down as george and william are common names. The Devon link is tenuous though-just a family rumour. On the census as i say it says born in cornwall. frankieb
