My 3x Gt Grandmother was Lucy Smith born c.1820 in Stanion. Her father was Robert William Smith who I think I made a correct move by naming his wife as a Sarah Swingler born in Brampton.
Ive just used familysearch.org for the first time, and found a christening entry for 28/02/1819 in Stanion for a Lucy Smith with father of Robert William and an 'Ann'.
This now has thrown my tree into doubt. Anyone have any advice on a foolproof method of finding the correct information?
David.

Thanks Sandy,
What database are you getting this info from? And does it give any baptism/christening details for Lucy? Prolly between 1818-1820 in Stanion.
Sorry to be a P.I.T.A!
-
As if David. :)
The Northants marriage index is just that.
No birth baps or burials.
If you type Alan Clarke into Goo**** you will see what he has for sale.
You would need to look at the original Parish Records to see Lucy's baptism.

I think this may be the family in 1841.
H.O.107/797/18 Stanion Pg 10 Folio 8
Robert Smith 45 Ag L Y
Sarah 40 Y
Hannah 15 Y
John 13 Y
George 10 Y
Charles 7 Y
Rebekah 5 Y
Benjamin 4 Y
Robertt 2 Y
Also in household
George Swingler 35 Ag L Y
If so that gives a lot more children to find.

So it looks like from the 1841 census that his children from Ann have all moved on from the household.
I am tempted with the baptism/birth index. Is it £30 or $30? The symbol hasnt displayed properly on my pc.

Hi David
It is Pounds.
