Lucy Smith help please!
« on: Thursday 08 May 08 14:59 BST (UK) »
My 3x Gt Grandmother was Lucy Smith born c.1820 in Stanion. Her father was Robert William Smith who I think I made a correct move by naming his wife as a Sarah Swingler born in Brampton.

Ive just used familysearch.org for the first time, and found a christening entry for 28/02/1819 in Stanion for a Lucy Smith with father of Robert William and an 'Ann'.

This now has thrown my tree into doubt. Anyone have any advice on a foolproof method of finding the correct information?

David.

Thanks Sandy,

Does that index have anything about the death of an Ann Smith?

Thanks Sandy,

What database are you getting this info from? And does it give any baptism/christening details for Lucy? Prolly between 1818-1820 in Stanion.

As if David.  :)

The Northants marriage index is just that.

No birth baps or burials.

If you type Alan Clarke into Goo**** you will see what he has for sale.

You would need to look at the original Parish Records to see Lucy's baptism.
