Children of Francis and Anne KIRKBY at Sawley

[Nottschick]

I am trying to find the baptism around 1692 of Rebecca KIRKBY who married at Nottingham St Peters 23/2/1722/3.  According to her marriage licence she was said to be 30 at the date of marriage.
I think she may be the daughter of Francis and Anne Kirkby who married at the same church in 1679.  According to two websites this couple had Robert and Anna baptised in Notts although I have yet to find the entries, then had Elizabeth and Ann baptised in 1683 and 1686 in Sawley. 
I have no access to Derbyshire records and wondered if anyone could check these last two please and see if they had Rebecca after this. 

Thanks. NC.

Unfortunately there are no entries of any sort in the Sawley Parish Register for the period 1691 to early 1697 and damned annoying it is too!

The Sawley baptismal batch C096262 on familysearch has Elizabeth KIRKBY bap 16 Oct 1683 and Ann KIRTHY sic bap 15 Oct 1686.

Hope this helps

Thank you - yes this really does help as it is no use wasting time looking for records that don't exist. Very annoying as you said. 
With this piece of information I am even more inclined to think that Rebecca was their child.

I had a look at the Lichfields will index and the only one that appears to come close is the will of Ann KIRKBY widow of Ilkeston 1696.

Might be worth getting. Could even be a grandparent, you never know.

Cheers, Darryl

Hi,

"According to two websites this couple had Robert and Anna baptised in Notts although I have yet to find the entries"

Per www.familysearch.org

Anna Kirkby Christened 31.3.1680 St. Peter's Nottingham.  Parents Frauncis & Anne Kirkby

Robert Kirkby   "            6.3.1681     "                   "          Parents Francis & Ann Kirkby

Thanks both - good idea about the will, I'll bear that in mind.

I'd seen the IGi entries but they don't appear on the Notts FHS CD which puzzled me, so I'm going to check the fiches at the archives and hopefully they will be there.

Hi,

Have taken another look the these entries.

Christening of Ann Kirkby 1690 is Film Number 95040, this according to Family Search is
a transcript of the Parish Registers of St.Peter's Nottingham 1440 - 1949.
The batch number for this item C015432 is for St. Peters 1572 -1724.

Christening for Robert Kirkby 1692 is Film Number 503798 is for St. Mary's Nottingham
1602 - 1827.
The Batch number for this item is C017396, this does not match the Batch Number given
on http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyNottingham.htm#N

May be it would be a good idea to ask Family Search for copies of the above.

Thank you for taking the trouble to check the entries.

I am hoping to get to the archives next week some time but failing that will ask for copies fom FS.  I didn't know that was an option so that information is also appreciated.
