Ashley / Wilbarston baptisms
« on: Saturday 01 August 09 04:29 UTC (UK) »
I am trying to find the baptisms of my gr gr grandfather William Potterton b1845 and his siblings. They were all born in either Ashley and Wilbarston,
John b1843
William b1845
Mary Ann b1847
Jane b1849
George b1852
Isaac b1853
Joseph b1857
Emma b 1860.
Their parents were George and Elizabeth Potterton, Nee Meakins. I have tried looking at the parish records at the records office a while ago but was unsuccesful. However I ahve since ordered certificates that to my surprise involved the Ashley church, so I suspect some fisches were missing when I visited.
Iwould be extremely grateful if someone could help me.

Thanks for that Alan, that George is the children's father. I just can't find the childrens baptisms, they didn't move away from Ashley until they were looking for work as the census's show.
But thanks for your help

Hello,
.
In the 1851 census when William is 6 years old his birth place is given as Wilbarston but later on in the census his birthplace is given as Ashley, if you have access to ancestry.co.uk he can be found here:

Source Citation: Class: HO107; Piece: 2079; Folio: 272; Page: 9; GSU roll: 87705

I would also imagine this is the Parents marriage from freeBMD:

Dec 1842 Market Harborough 15 313
George Potterton
Elizabeth Meakins

cheers

Thanks Richard,
It appeards that whilst he lived at home his birth place was Wilbarston ( it actually was on his birth cert) but when he got married he was born in Ashley
A wife assumption perhaps? You were right that was his parents marriage in Stoke Albony parish church.
Thanks

I went to the Northampton record office this morning and had a look in the Wilbarston baptism's before I started on my own projects but found nothing for William. 

Was this the certificate you ordered? There is a  William Potterton birth on freeBMD: June 1845 ref 15 187 N Harbro.

He is also on familysearch.org in the IGI but no baptism date.

cheers
