Not sure which county to post this in ???
I am looking for (ideally) a baptism for Jane Parker she married in St Andrew, Coniston, Lancashire on 2 Oct 1796 to Leonard Woodend their children were bap in Wolsingham Durham and that is where she died/bur in 1832 aged 58yrs old. So she was born c 1774.
I have some information c1813 he was a 'Manufacturer' in Hawkshead, Lancashire from one of their childrens baptisms

Have you looked at genuki.org.uk under Coniston to see where the various Church records are held?
-
Do you have any proof she was born in Lancashire?
Could this be a possibility from FS?

Thanks CaroleW
I have no proof where she was born/bap as she died pre 1841 census which would/could have given me a clue.
The details you have given are what I have noted as potential and I am in the process of researching this Jane Parker to see if I can find if this one died or married someone else etc
The only other clue is the naming patterns of Leonard and Janes children and that Janes parents are likely/do fit that.

Thanks lancsann ...... some more to add to my notes and investigate further
-
around that time being baptised in Coniston,was
George Parker,son of William,25th December 1756
perhaps the Parkers were only there a short time
-
Burial;
28 Apr 1778, St Mary and St Stephen, Wolsingham, Durham
JANE Parker, Daug or WILLIAM/ANN
Burials same Church;
ANN Parker 20 Feb 1797 age 66, Widow
WILLIAM Parker 22 Mar 1779, note; a Suicide
WILLIAM Parker 29 Dec 1780, no other details
All above on FreeREG
So maybe this Jane is not yours

At this moment in time, I know Jane and Leonard married in Coniston Lancs and that she died/buried in Wolsingham Durham
I know that Parker and Woodend are surnames that seem very common in both Lancs and Durham and at the time I am researching it is very difficult to find 'connecting records' to prove anything.
Thank you I can discount 'that' Jane Parker and most likely those parents as if that one died in 1778, 'my' Jane Parker would have been born c1774 and it is unlikely ( although I know not impossible) that they didn't have two daughters named Jane living at the same time
