William Braithwait of Basford (Nottingham)

[hound]

Hi  I believe William was born 1808 at Basford., son of Thomas & Sarah Braithwait.
 
Anyone able to take me back further?
Grateful for any info.
(Is yoyo 202711 still out there?)

I can't help you with William's birth/baptism, but there's a marriage in Basford between a Thomas Brathwait & Elizabeth Rowland on 17 Apr 1808.

Are you sure about his mother's name being Sarah?

There was a William Brathwait baptized on 31st July 1808 at Basford, St Leodegarius, but the parents are listed as Thomas & Elisth (Elizabeth), not Sarah, which would match with Jill's reply. 

IF that's the correct one then he had several siblings:-

Priscilla 3.9.1809
Thomas 12.7.1812
Charles 15.5.1815
Elizabeth 27.4.1817
George 28.11.1819
Eliza 31.3.1822
John Rowland 27.7.1828
Ann 17.2.1833

Hi   Thanks Jill, BG & bigjon.

The William Braithwait I am after is the man who married Sarah Saxton of Smalley at St Werburghs Derby in 1850.  Hus father is listed as Thomas.

I have an IGI Individual Record ... Wm Brathwait ch. 31 July 1808 Basford.... Father Thomas.... Mother Sarah.

Also I have now found an IGI Family Group Record
Husband Thomas Brathwait b c 1783 Beeston Nottm Married Elizabeth Rowland (c 1787 Beeston)  17 April 1808 at Beeston.

The latter now seems more plausible.  Using BG's info Wm had a sister Priscilla.... and named his only natural child Priscilla.

Tenuous really?
What a dilemma!!  Yes Bigjon, This Wm could be a brother of your Charles.  Not sure!

Thanks again      hound
