Hi Sally

In my case my G Granddads, James William Swan Wake, birth cert had no father named when I eventually found his baptism record he was baptised James William Swan and his father was James William Swan. I  am not sure but I think someone told me that sometimes, for religious reasons perhaps, the fathers name was submitted at the baptism. My G Grandmother Dorothy Wake was in service with the Swan family and James William was the son, so he possibly thought he was going to marry her, and then he or his family stopped it. I know that apparently the mother would often use the fathers full name as part of the childs name, which is exactly what she did in my case, does your relative have a middle name could be linked to the father. Would you share the name you are looking for, or do you prefer to do all your own research.

Best wishes

Hi Jane

Found a couple of entries for you.

BURNHAM SUTTON and ULPH

Baptisms

1794 july16 WHIDBY THOMAS son of JOHN and SARAH (HENDRY) born july9 private baptism recorded aug1.

1796 feb28 WHITBY ELIZABETH daug of JOHN and SARAH (HENDRY) born feb25 private baptism recorded april17.

1796 april17 WHIDBY ELIZABETH daug of JOHN and SARAH (HENDRY) born feb25.

There is a discrepancy somewhere with Elizabeth's baptism dates but this is how it has been transcribed on the cd I have, you would need to have a look at the original records to resolve this. There is also a burial record.

Burials
 
1794 sept19 WHIDBY THOMAS infant.

Hope the information helps.
Best Wishes

Hi Pru

I believe this will be them , unfortunately one of their details look like they have been mis transcribed and I do not know which one if you are wanting to order a certificate.
                                                   Vol  Page   Dist
William Oughton  O/N/D 1839     13  162     Docking
Rachael Goss       O/N/D 1839     13  1162   Docking

Free BMD has William down as page 162 but I don't know which of the two pages are correct.

Good Luck

John

Dont forget that on the 1841 census that they often rounded ages up or down, sometimes you cannot take peoples ages as gospel. Not sure about the relationship of William to the rest of the Pigott family but it would be nice to think you have fond another generation.

Good Luck
