Peter Reynolds 1808-1845 Oscroft, Cheshire.

Hi all,

It's a while since i posted on here and i've hit a bit of a stumbling block with this ancestor. In particular i am looking for a possible birth. I know he was buried in Tarvin in December 1845 aged 37. In which time he had married Mary and had 4 children, Joseph (1840), Martha (1842), Mary (1844) and Sarah Ann (1846, christened 6 September) although i cannot find any possible birth registrations on the GRO for these children. I believe his wife was Mary Ball whom he married in St Peter's church in 1833.

There appears to be another Peter Reynolds born around the same time in Dodleston in Cheshire and i'm pretty sure that on certain public trees "my" Peter has been confused with this man.

Thanks

Registration wasn't compulsory till about 1875, many children weren't registered but were baptised, perhaps this was the case

Thanks for that i wasn't aware. I was more interested to see if anyone with different resources to what i had could come up with a potential parish record for his birth, thus giving me potential parents.

Thanks Rosie, very helpful 

I was thinking it might be variations in the spelling.
