Hi,

There is a baptism of a George Metcalf -

5th April 1846
Parents John Jonathan and Charlotte
Abode - Fishtoft
Father's occ - Labourer.

Now here's something interesting ...

Marriage at Fishtoft 18 May 1864 (yes 1864)
John Jonathan METCALF (son of Thomas) to Charlotte WAKEFIELD (dau of Roland)

There seems to be a baptism for Charlotte in 1830, so she may have been rather young in 1846.

 

Ah, I can definitely answer that one - it was a different Charlotte. John Jonathan married Charlotte Gower in 1841, and she is George's mother. She died in 1860, however, and Charlotte Wakefield, who was a servant, married John Jonathan in 1864.

That's brilliant JJ, thanks for your help! Maybe you could teach me how to use LttP - I'm really confused by it - I've just tried searching for this info and I couldn't even find something I know you've found there!

Hope that helps.

Superb, thank you. In the meantime I did manage to find it without being registered, but I'll do that anyway. It's just a bit odd to me how the records are all laid out in different levels.

Yes, you're right, I should have checked.  They married at Wainfleet St Mary 23 Nov 1841.
