William Robinson married Jane Harwood 1804 Yarm. William's baptism?

[Worlygigger]

William Robinson married Jane Harwood 1804 Yarm but I have not been able to locate a baptism for William or find out who his parents were. He was born about 1775 but not in Yarm or Richmond where he subsequently ended up. Maybe in a surrounding parish to Yarm (which was Jane's parish, of course). Could someone help because I live in Suffolk and the Mormons website is not much use. I can offer some help with Suffolk records if required!

According to FindMyPast there are 84 baptisms for a William Robinson in the North Riding of Yorkshire between 1770 and 1780. Unfortunately he may not have even come from Yorkshire as Yarm is not that far from the border with Durham.

I'm not on FindMyPast - could you cut and paste the 84 Williams and send them to my address ^(*)

People did not move around very much at all in the 18th century. I'd be very surprised if William came from a parish more than two parishes away from Yarm. I'd like to eliminate North Yorkshire parishes before I head over the border into Durham. So the North Yorkshire results are a place for me to start from. Thanks for your help.

Sorry but as much as I like to help people I think that is asking a bit much. I'd have to open every one, download then upload and I haven't got that much free time.

If you could let me know your exact search criteria - did you use "North Riding of Yorkshire" or "North Yorkshire" or something else?

Yorkshire North Riding

Thanks for that and your patience. I've now got 97 results to work through

There is one in Kirklevington in 1774 that looks a good likelihood.  I'm from the area and the two are very close - I used to go clubbing in both places back in the day

Thanks for that, Jomot, I know the area well (The Kirk, etc). I suppose I'd need to find some other evidence to support the possibility such as a settlement certificate. Since he was "of this parish (Yarm)" when he married in 1804, there must be some written evidence of his move from Kirklevington to Yarm as he clearly "belonged" to Yarm by then. Could you possibly tell me the names of his parents and if Jane Harwood was also baptised in Kirklevington?
