Is this the end of the line...........I hope not
« on: Monday 02 March 15 01:31 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for my 5th Great Grandmother Jane (Sarah) WALLER born abt. 1789 Whitby...........Father William WALLER - Mother Unknown possible surname LYTTLE.

Jane married Thomas WARD 1813 in Lythe and they had 10 children all baptized in Lythe then no. 11 who was born in Canada after they migrated in abt. 1832.

The nearest I can find is Jane WALLER bap. 3 Feb 1791 Guisborough father William WALLER, but I am unable to confirm her mother

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sharyn, this is a difficult one because baptism records at that time often didn't show the mother's name, just the father's. The woman who went through the pregnancy and subsequent labour was obviously not considered important enough to be mentioned!

Have you tried looking at the parish marriage records for the area at that time? You could start by entering William Waller and see what results you get.

Good luck!
