Parish Records for Chipping, Lancs

[northern_rose]

I'm at LRO tomorrow so will have a look for you!

Well I went to LRO last night and spent about an hour looking up your family. Here is what I found.....

• Baptisms in Chipping - looked at Nov 1799 to 1808. I couldn't find Edward Helme. However, there were some baptisms missing around 1806 and the 1807/8 records were very faded and hard to read.
  
I did find a baptism for a William Helme son of Edward and Ann Helme of Chipping born 30th April 1801, baptised 20th June 1801. Not sure if William fits into your tree?

• At St Michaels Church Cockerham - Marriage records
  5th Feb 1826 Edward Helme Farmer of parish. married Hannah Woodhouse spinster by banns. He signed she made her mark. The curate was William Armistead, witnesses James Hayes and Thomas Wright. Thomas Wright appeared as a witness on several of the records so he could have been a parish clerk rather than a friend!
  
Baptism records from Caton Church -
8th Jan 1832 Thomas son of Edward & Hannah Helme of Caton. Father's occupation - silk comber. (No longer a farmer or a different couple?)
I couldn't find the other kids baptised at Caton.
At Caton there were several other Helme children baptised whose parents were John and Ann. John was a stone mason. Again not sure if John and Ann fit into your tree anywhere?

I think I might have created a few questions for you!!

Thanks very much for checking for me.   Thomas, the son of Edward and Hannah is definitely my relative.  However whether the Thomas and Hannah who married at Cockerham are the same Thomas and Hannah - who knows.
Back to the drawing board.  Again many thanks.

Chipping have a local history Society, that meet
in St Marys Village Hall, they can be contacted through
a care of address at Chipping Post Office.
They meet on a Sunday (I think it is the first Sunday
of the Month- but not in the Winter Months)
