Hello. I am looking for information about this man's parents. I have Heath ancestors from Sussex, Herefordshire, Warwickshire, and London, but have not found any family connection to Cheshire. I believe that this person is related to my Heath family; however, I need to find that connection. Robert is the earliest member of this family that has been found: Name Robert Heath
Event Type: Christening
Event Date: 1 Apr 1771
Event Place: Tarporley, Cheshire, England
Gender Male
Father's Name John Heath
Mother's Name Martha
I've tried searching Geni, Family Search, and Google to no avail. Any assistance is appreciated.

Baptism has Robert son of John Heath of Eaton & his wife Martha. Prior to Roberts baptism there is one for a sister Elizabeth 1769.
John Heath (Farmer) married Martha Cookson by licence 21 August 1768 -Tarporley

FindMyPast has some cheshire registers

Thanks. I am unable to see anything since I do not pay money to FindMyPast.

If you live in England or Wales then a lot of libraries have access to FindMyPast and/or Ancestry.
Added: When I was living in the area until the 1970's, there were still a lot of Heath families in the vicinity of Eaton and Tarporley.

Thanks. I don't live in the UK. I know there are still Heaths living in the areas where my direct ancestors come from.

Thanks. I don't live in the UK.
It may be an idea to add your location to your profile then hopefully we won't suggest you visit places in the UK for research ;)

Thanks. I just updated my profile.

Thank you.
Why do you think that your Heath's are related to this Cheshire family :-\

This is based upon a conversation with a member of the Heath family from Cheshire. There are quite a few common first names between the families, so I am trying to find out if such a connection exists.
-
It looks as though familysearch may have some images for Tarporley as my last post.
It looks as though there were Heaths in the area going backwards from that time
-
I know that this woman has information about her Heath family going back to 1790 and then everything stops. She told me that her family has a long history in Cheshire, so I'm not surprised by what your saying about how long the family has been in the area. I know there are still Heath relatives of mine in the areas where my direct line came from.
-
Perhaps then it would be better to try and track her family back further if she has a brick wall.
-
I've offered to help with that. Now it is up to her.
