Gloucestershire / Re: Frustrating lack of online Gloucestershire Parish Records.
« on: Monday 04 November 13 05:55 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Victor,

Thanks very much for checking. Interesting that he's not listed at all. I guess, it's back to Lincs for me then, and double-check the baptisms there. Caistor, Lincs, is where this John ended up at around 1797 - which still doesn't explain the move of his parents from Tetney, Lincs to Coates, Gloucestershire. I guess, I should double-check into Stow, Lincs...
There is a wee hamlet, Coates-by-Stow, just outside Stow... I wonder if the parish priest/ curator got carried away when he wrote down Gloucestershire in the baptism record of John's son, also called John.

Gloucestershire / Re: Baptism of John HARVISON at St Matthew, Coates, 14th April 1765

Hi Victor,

thanks, and yes - not new to family history - have been on this for the past 25 years, strictly privately, I am indeed new to at least Gloucestershire and "roots".
I am sorry, I shall try to catch up with things.

Take all the time you need to recuperate. I can wait. Thanks for offering to verify "my" John Harvison.
Father and mother should be: John & Mary (unless Mary had already died by or before April 1765 - which may explain John's move to Caistor, Lincs  - which I find to be quite a drastic distance in those days).


Thanks & Best Wishes,
Gernot

Hi Victor,

I am based across the Irish sea, and have come across this thread while searching for a confirmation of a Gloucestershire birth/ baptism.
Could I please ask you to verify/ confirm
John HARVISON, * 14 Apr 1765 Coates, Gloucestershire
for me, please ?
Apparently, John, and for unknown reasons, resurfaced in Caistor, Lincs in later life. He is one of the riddles in your parts of the realm.
Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks & Best Regards,
Gernot
