Laxons of Wickmere/ Barningham

[greenacre1]

I wonder if anybody has come across the births of Henry Laxon bn 1769 in Wickmere and his father Peter bn around 1737 in Little Barningham. I have searched the IGI and FreeReg but cannot find them on either of these sources. I would be grateful for any help. I wondered if they were possibly Quakers but would not know where to go to access these records.

Hi Jayne

I found this on FreeREG so you may have seen it, but the father is William.

There is also a Henry & Sarah baptising children shortly after 1800 in Wickmere.

Also on FreeREG, place and date a little out:

Hello Geoff,

Thanks for those links... Peter looks promising but I am going over somebody else's work and they have Peter's father as another Henry Laxon bn 1701 Little Barningham and his father Thomas Laxon/ Laxton. Have already found some errors in the tree regarding dates. It had poor Peter dying on the same day as he was married and his son born 2 years after his death!

Best wishes

Jayne

Hello
My GGG grandfather is William Laxton and was (according to the 1851, 1861 and 1871 censuses) born in Wickmere, Norfolk approximately 1805.

After browsing through both bishop and archdeacon's records for Wickmere St. Andrews, I am unable to find him.
However, I have located a record for him in the records for Little Barningham St. Andrews.

Would it be possible that someone born in Wickmere would have been a member of Little Barningham's parish instead of Wickmere's?

Regards,
Gary

Hello Gary
Welcome to RootsChat

Yes it is possible, looks like his parents Henry Laxton and Sarah Gyton were married in Little Barningham 25 June 1799

Thanks for looking into that.
I suspected that was a possibility since the two parishes are somewhat near each other.

Found a Peter Laxton bapt. 22 May 1737 in Little Barningham, son of Henry Laxton.
