Rachel Stepel/Rachell Steepel - Langwathby
« on: Wednesday 09 June 10 21:04 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Does anyone have access to or know where I can see, the Parish Records of Langwathby? I'm looking for the Birth/Baptism of Rachel Stepel/Rachell Steepel. I believe she was born around April/May 1770.

I've only just come across ancestors in Westmorland, so I'm a little lost as to where to look.

Many Thanks

Nigel

Patrish,

This is great, as I've come across a removal order for a Ruth Steple in my searches for Rachel, so it looks like I inadvertently found the mother. It takes me a little further back, so thank you very much, it really is appreciated.

Thanks again

Nigel
