William Sadler died 1768
« on: Friday 17 February 12 14:54 GMT (UK) »
How do I go about finding information on an ancestor I know very little about?

My 7x great grandfather was William Sadler who died in 1768 in Swillington, Yorkshire.

That's it! >:(

PS I have traced each generation up to William and I have either been given the information by a relative I found during my research or traced it myself online.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

His children were;

Richard (1740-1824).  My 6x great grandfather.
Thomas (1743-1746)
Elizabeth (1747)
Sarah (1749)

No idea who he married and when ???

Looked on ancestry and I think I found his burial. 

The record says a William Sadler was buried on 30 June 1768.

I think a lot of this family are buried at St Mary's, Swillington.

Re-visiting this thread as I'm trying to pull my loose ends together.

I still can't find any further information on William Sadler who died in 1768.

How am I supposed to find more information with so little to go on? ???

Have you looked in the parish records for Swillington?  I see that only marriages are accessible on Ancestry for the year of 1768, so not a lot of help there!!  West Yorkshire Archive Service hold the
records from around 1540.  I'm afraid it's a case of look at the parish records - alternatively you may be lucky and find a will, which might be of some assistance.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

I have found some stuff online which confirmed the burial I have.

Unfortunately I was not able to find a marriage for him.

I have all his children's names and their christening dates but none of the information tells me who the mother is >:(
