Help I cannot find him
« on: Friday 15 December 06 19:51 GMT (UK) »
I would be grateful if somebody, could help with a little problem I have. I've been trying to find the Baptism/birth of an Ancestor but try as I might I cannot find him anywhere  >:(

The person I trying to find is;

George Rainford B: abt 1815 Chorley, Lancashire. He married Jane Foy 11 April 1841 at St Andrew's Parish Church, Leyland, Lancashire.

Children of George & Jane were

Edward Rainford B 1843 Chorley, Lancs
Mary Rainford B 1844 Chorley Lancs
Ann Rainford B 1847 Chorley, Lancs
William Rainford B 1850 Chorley, Lancs
Thomas Rainford B 1851 D 1852 Chorley, Lancs
George Rainford B 1853 Chorley, Lancs
Thomas Rainford B 1858 Chorley, Lancs

Any help gratefully received, as I've just spent the best part of today looking for him in the Lancashire Records Office
