1768 Births in Sheffield

[chartwell]

Can anyone help me in the search for a Samuel Wragg born 1768 and in Sheffield I am also attempting to find his marriage and to whom

If you go to http://www.familyhistoryonline.net they have a number of Samuel Wragg, West Riding, references including an 1831 Sheffield census entry and a wedding in Pontefract in 1786. The charges are very reasonable - usually just a few pence per item.

Just looking at the IGI which has a submitted record - handle with care - for a Samuel Wragg b. 1768 marriage to Mary Baker in Sheffield 3 Oct 1793.

Many thanks for your prompt reply. How do I go about further research for Samuel Wragg and now Mary Baker

There's also a submitted record reference in the IGI to Mrs Sarah Wragg who was married to a Samuel Wragg born Sheffield around 1768. According to the IGI both Sarah and Mary were born c 1772. These records are notoriously unreliable but it's start. There are entries in the 1841 Sheffield census for both a Mary Wragg and a Sarah Wragg of roughly the right age group. Mary is with a Samuel Wragg aged 40 - is he a relative of yours? Can you tell us what you already know about the Samuel b.1768 that you are looking for e.g names of any children?

Another one from the IGI: Saml. Ragg baptised at Sheffield St Peter's Cathedral 18 May 1768, father James Ragg.

Thanks for your repliesMy family tree sarting with my grandfather Samuel Wragg 1876-Catherine Jordan 1879,Samuel Wragg 1851-Mary Fearn 1851,Samuel Wragg 1831-Elizabeth Wragg 1842,John Wragg 1810-Esther Wragg 1806.
I then have  a 33 year gap for Samuel Wragg 1768-Mary Baker 1772, Issac Wragg 1750- Ann Powell 1756.

Other than my Grandfathers children I do not have any other children listed.
  Can you help me out with the 33 year gap and the other children??

[ShaunJ]

Chartwell - before I start digging have you collected any census data from 1841 or 1851 as yet ?

[chartwell]

Yes i have done this but it is still the 33 year gap I cannot reconcile or find any children
