Lookup in Wrestlingworth
« on: Thursday 31 October 13 16:56 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for a baptism for a John White, born in 1840ish, somewhere on the Cambridgeshire/Bedfordshire border.

He can't seem to decide if he's from Wrestlingworth or Tadlow, and he doesn't seem to be in the Tadlow PRs so if anybody could have a look in the Wrestlingworth ones that would be very helpful.

I'm afraid I don't know his parents names, I'm still waiting for the marriage cert to get to me.

Hi
The Parish registers for Wrestlingworth have been extracted onto the IGI for the dates you are looking at - no sign of John though. Maybe he is non-conformist or perhaps christened in Cambs?

This site lets you search the IGI by parish

Also one in 1837 which may be too early

Thanks for the info about the IGI janan, I always forget to check it. Doesn't look like he was baptised in Wrestlingworth after all.

CaroleW, that first birth record looks like it might be the one. He seems reasonably consistent on the censuses of being born in 1840. I'll have to see what the marriage cert has to say about his father.
