Leicestershire / Re: John Durrance of Burton Lazars
« on: Friday 13 October 17 02:54 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for your help everyone. I'm pretty certain my John is the son of James and Elizabeth. They had several other children baptised in Burton Lazars. Whether he is also the subject of the bastardy order I don't know yet. He and Ann Chambers were married 9 August 1790. I haven't discovered any other John Durrances of the appropriate age but it's early days so will  keep an open mind.
Thanks again!!

Leicestershire / John Durrance of Burton Lazars
« on: Tuesday 10 October 17 05:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I've found my 6 x great grandparents, John Durrance and Ann Chambers who married 9 Aug 1790 at Melton Mowbray. The parish records (I have a transcript) say they were both of Burton Lazars and the majority of their children were baptised at Burton Lazars. I am hoping to get some help with John's baptism. I can't find it in Melton Mowbray and the Burton Lazars transcript I have starts too late for John's baptism. Another site that I belong to has many users who claim John's birth or baptism to be 8 Oct 1769 at Burton Lazars but I can't find it. Any ideas where to look next would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!!

Thanks for all of that Trish, and for the super quick response. Odd they married so long after living together and having a son together. I looked at the GRO website and it seems William was their only child. Intriguing :) Tgank you again.

Hi, I am new to rootschat and family history research but this post caught my attention as I am a Calcutt and my father was the son of William born in Langley Mill. I would love to hear where you have got to in the intervening years and happy to share what I know. My parents emigrated in 1963 and I now live in Australia.

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage Lookup Please: William Sheldon & Sarah Wardropper M: 1827

Hi, I've been looking at Robert Sheldon and Jane Crow. There are baptism records for three sons  named John, but only one burial record. I wondered if  John Sheldon bap 27 July 1800 could have been incorrectly transcribed and should be William? A Look up of this baptism could be helpful.
