Littlefair Baptism

[aidansrest]

Hi

I wonder if anyone can find the parents of this person:

Joseph Littlefair - baptised in Croxdale on the 11th January 1789.

I can find an online record of this event, but no parent's names are mentioned.

Thanks

Sue

I cant help with that Record but there is this Baptism on FreeREG who might be a Sibling of Joseph;
WILLIAM Littlefair Baptised 10 April 1791, Old Church, Croxdale, Durham

Hopefully someone can confirm Joseph for you.

Wow! Thanks for that!

I did find the baptism of William Littlefair and thought that perhaps he could be a younger sibling of Joseph's and you seem to have confirmed it for me!

Thank you so much
