Watson/Brown, Fellingham?

[Helena98]

Hi there... I'm wondering what kind of records are out there for the following?

I have a John Watson born c.1784 in Fellingham, Lincolnsh, England. He joined the Royal West India Rangers on April 24, 1813. He married a Helen [Ellen] Brown c.1819 as their first son Robert Patrick shows to have been born 1820.

The regiment disbanded in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada in June 1819. He was given some land and remained in the area until his death in 1871.

I would like to find out who John and Helen's parents were and where they would have married. Any ideas on how to proceed from here??

Thx for any feedback.

I wonder if its Fillingham, Lincs ? Theres no entry I can see for Fellingham.

The Parish Registers are online in the IGI* for this Parish, but no Watsons ....

Just what I was going to say plus -

my Lincs marriage index has nothing for a couple with those names.

Do you have a birth place for Helen?

HI there,

it more than likely is "Fillingham" - you know how it is when things get transcribed? I'm not very familiar with place names in England - sorry.

I don't have a birth date or year for Helen.  Thanks for checking the marriage Index.
