Hi Girl Guide.
I saw the James who was a witness at the wedding, and the birth in Hovingham, and also wondered if the father James could also be the witness. I've been unable to find a James Calvert born within a few years of George, so I'm of the opinion that the witness was probably his father.
Unfortunately I cannot find any record of a George Calvert being born or baptised anywhere in the North East, except for one in Barnard Castle, but I'm pretty sure that I've found his marriage in 1836, so have discounted him.
I'm also looking at a George born in 1812 in Keyingham, Yorkshire, to James and Ann, but again I'm having difficulty tracking him after his birth, . Oh the joys of genealogy!
I guess I shall just have to keep looking, but many thanks for your advice and help.
