Manthorpe

[sue 1950]

I have looked on the census for Sarah Coddington bn  Manthorpe well that is where it says she was from on 1851 and 61 bn 1779 I have gone and looked on family search and there is a birth there for Grantham bn 1778 would that be it please? Here maiden name was Cristian

Hi Sue

Would have thought that would be the one as Manthorpe is only a mile away from Grantham.

Hi Sue

I would just give the usual warning that record you found is a submitted IGI entry.  This doesn't make it wrong, but it really needs checking next time you go to Lincoln.

IGI Batch C011244 has 96 baptisms for 1778 - less than in 1777 or 1779 ... neither of the Sarah's who had fathers called Robert were called CHRISTIAN.

Thanks for your advice Geoff, I am going to look next time I go to the archives.
Maybe see you there as you go to Lincoln sometimes don't you !!

What does it mean when it says submitted is it someone researching their tree or is it someone who has nothing to do with this line

I'm afraid that the methods and intentions of the Church of Latter Day Saints and its members are not really within my area of knowledge.  Nor can I explain the difference in content of the batches.

The submitted batch has
Mary CHRISTIAN (of Robert and Mary) 31 Oct 1773
the extracted batch has
Mary CHRISTIAN (of Robert and Mary) 31 Dec 1775

While both may be true baptisms, I can't see why they are not in both batches.

I normally have a couple of days in April each year at Lincoln Archives.

Hi Sue,

I will check Manthorpe parish records on Saturday in Grantham library under both surnames and will let you know the outcome.

Hi Sue

Surprisingly Manthorpe parish records are not in Grantham library so Lincoln Archives is your best route.Sorry.

Allegedly they aren't in Lincoln either http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/Manthorpe/#Church

but Lincs Archives claims to have

Manthorpe C 1848-1977, M 1849-2003, B 1849-1993 http://microsites.lincolnshire.gov.uk/archives/section.asp?docId=28402

But then, if you read the first link, you'd know there was no church at Manthorpe until 1848 so perhaps Little Gonerby was the place to look.
