Looking for baptisms (or any information ) on two brothers Samuel and Thomas Kershaw.
I have two documents which state they were from Tintwhistle.
One document states that Thomas left Tintwhistle in July 1801 and joined the Nottinghamshire Militia. He died in Mansfield in 1810 but no age given.
Samuel also moved to Mansfield and died there in 1837 aged 60 which put his birth around 1777.
I have all the information on them after they moved to Nottinghamshire, but nothing before.
Any information would be great.

Have you tried https://cprdb.csc.liv.ac.uk/
Although it’s in Cheshire - UKBMD shows it as Oldham & Ashton RD from 1837

Thanks Carol, I will take a look.

What about these two likely lads
Samuel Kershaw baptised 1774 Mottram in Longdendale father John
Thomas Kershaw baptised 1781 Mottram in Longdendale father John

Looks like a good find - only 2 miles from Tintwistle

Tintwistle Church wasn’t built until 1836 previous to that the village was served by Mottram in Longendale St Michael church.

Good find & there may have been others between those dates?

Thanks everyone for the replies.
Good find but the date doesn't fit for Samuel's age at burial.

It's worth remembering that the age at death and any other information given is only as good as the knowledge of the person giving it. They will have given his age as what they thought it was, which may not have been correct.
