Huntingdonshire Lookup Requests / Birth - Brington - Reuben Lawrence C1774
« on: Saturday 03 February 07 17:38 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Can anyone please help with a long standing brick wall.
My 4th Gt Grandfather was supposedly born about 1774 in Brington Hunts. A visit to the archives in Huntingdon did not come up with anything as there was a 10 year gap in the parish registers around this time. I do not know the reason for this gap but basically the entries end then we have half a blank page before they start up again many years later, as this was the book i was looking at rather than any electronic reproduction i was quite confused.
I have been told that in general BT's may have some information that is missing from parish registers but unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to follow this up.
Reuben married Elizabeth Smith in Molesworth on 20 Oct 1799 and died in 1810 in Brington. They had 4 children Sarah, John, Thomas and William baptised in Brington between 1800 and 1809.
Any help with this one greatly appreciated.
Jamie
