Hi, I am looking for help with my main line in my family tree please, I have managed to get back to 1744 with help on the Family search site, but because I live In Scotland no way at present of checking this,
I have found a John Faucitt/ Fawcett born 1744 Whitby and baptised 11th May 1744 Whitby, unfortunately it dosen't say what church, but I am asssuming Church of England. He aslo married a Mary Robinson on the 4th Feb 1762 Whitby, any help on telling me where to go next appreciated. Kind Regards Ebony

Hi Shipwright, Thankyou so much for your help very much appreciated, From what I have found so far , I have three possibly four generations of Fawcett's who were born Whitby and all seamen. What you have given me is much appreciated. Kind Regards Ebony ps am I right in assuming if John and Mary were married at St Mary's Parish Church then there children would be baptised there too.

Maybe if they stayed here You also need to check St Michaels, St John, St Hilda`s and thats just some of the C of E churchs then you have the non conformists

Hi, more help if possible on my Fawcett's please. I can't find Thomas Fawcett born 1817 Whitby on 1841 Census or 1851 Cenus, his parents were James Fawcett and Hannah Cowper/Cooper, who married 1813 Whitby.

Thomas was a Waterman, his father a waterman too. Not sure if he would have been away at time of census. Any help apprecited. Ebony
