Hi
I am having great dififculty in finding information of Daniel Todd born 1791 in Whitehaven Cumberland.
I have been trying to find Daniels parents. 
Any information greatly appreciated
regards Joyce

Hi Joyce

The 1851 census gives Daniel's birthplace as Hensingham (where he was living in 1851).

The IGI has no Hensingham baptisms before 1811 I'm afraid.

Hi Geoffe
Thanks for that info. It was good of you to find that out for me. I suppose I may have to send for his b/certificate it might help me
thanks again

There are no birth certificates before 1837.

registration didn't begin until Jul/Aug/Sept qtr 1837 (and even then it wasn't compulsory) so if you are looking for a birth c. 1791 you are going to have to rely on baptism records

The IGI is not complete - you will need to ask if anyone can do a look up in parish registers

Hi Suz
Thanks for your reply.
will I be able to do that on here.
regards Joyce

[suzard]

you can put a request on here - someone may hav access to parish registers

There is a marriage IGI -extracted -don't know if you have seen that
Daniel Todd
Mary barnes
St James Whitehaven Cumberland
8 dec 1810

the marriage register may give more details of parents - sometimes they do -often they don't

Hope that helps

Hi Suz
Yes I realised that after I wrote about it ..I have got the marriage of Daniel and Mary.. so I think I would be best sending for the m/cert.
 Thanks so much for your help

There won't be a marriage cert - just an entry in the church register - which may have more detail -but often there are only the bride and groom's names

There are no birth/marriage/death certificates availale before registration was introduced -which was Sept qtr 1837 - and even then it wasn't compulsory
