Registration District
« on: Friday 24 July 09 15:21 BST (UK) »
I think I have found a relative who gives her place of birth as Wood Newton, Northamptonshire. Could someone please tell me which registration district it would come under so I can look for her marriage and also if there are any Parish Records available as she was born circa 1831.

LANCASHIRE = Wood,Howard,,Smethurst,Foxall,Cheetham,Brookes,Grime, Horrocks,Thornley,Arstall,Shawcross,Rowland,Mclean LINCOLNSHIRE = Featherstone Johnson,Toyne,Willson,

Thanks Chris.  :)

I've searched for some information about the village but I can't find anything. I don't suppose you know why?

Hi Margaret

Try a Google search using Genuki Woodnewton as your criteria, you should get a few results

Chris it's showing up as not being found and error on page. But the site does date back to 2000 So it may not have been maintained for long.

I.m looking for the birth/christening of Mary Ann Peach circa 1832 is there anywhere I can find it. It's not on familysearch so I am completely stuck now.

Hi Margaret

You could try http://freereg.rootsweb.com/cgi/Search.pl

This is an ongoing project so the information could appear at a later date

It may be worth posting the information you have on the Northamptonshire Lookup Board and see if any one there can help

Do you have any information to confirm the birth/baptism as 1832 from a marriage or later census by any chance?

Try the following site

If you put the following into your search engine (google?) then lots of information will be found.

Note that the name Woodnewton is all one word.

Brilliant. Thanks Dave. I have been using both ways of spelling it just in case.
