I'm looking any info on John Whitfield born approx. 1750. His son Thomas was born in Kirkby Stephen so I am hoping that John was born or died there. I know he married Jane Green but am stuck after that. Would love to find his parents. Thanks Cass

Hi cass,

I have found this Christening but it is in Mallerstang Westmorland. I have tried to see how far this place is from Kirkby Stephen (which I have found) but have not managed to find it on my map So just for the record....in case, I am very unsure of this one

John Whitfield Christened 15 August 1749 Mallerstang
Father Thomas

Kind Regards,

Thanks Frances, this certainly seems to be a good possibility. I think Mallerstang is near Kirkby Stephens. Where did you find info? Cass

[Frances]

Hi cass,

I found it on the BVRI. FHL Film 1471762

I hope you can find the correct John

Happy Hunting,

Frances

Thanks Frances. I don't have access to the BVRI - is there any marriages for Thomas Whitfield or christenings in the same area? Cass

[Frances]

Hi Cass,

Sorry cannot help on the marriages, there are none listed for any Thomas Whitfield. (the BVRI is not complete) I can have a  look for Christenings could you  give me around what dates you need and names if possible.

Thanks Frances, I was hoping to find Thomas whitfield's christening. If his son was born in 1749 I am thinking that Thomas may have been born around 1720-25? Cass

Hi Cass,

This is the nearest one, but is it the correct one

Thomas Whitfield Christened 28 March 1715 Mallerstang
Father Thomas Whitfield

Sorry no mothers name.

Kind Regards,

Thanks Frances - a good possibility. May have to have a trip there to see if I can confirm or not, but that far back it is difficult. Many thanks for your time and effort. Cass
