Town Parish?
« on: Sunday 25 August 13 07:10 BST (UK) »
Hello all

I was pointed in the direction of Lincolnshire a long time ago for the birth of this William Searby.
But having checked Parishes and Towns I am unable to find anything like this. A definite ascender and descender unless that is just one word.

Any help appreciated thank you

Regards, Kate

Could it be Holford?  :-\  If so, then that is in Somerset.

You don't give any kind of date for William - but you can always check out Holford baptisms 1714 - 1850 via the Somerset pages of GENUKI, as they have been transcribed, along with marriages and burials.

It doesn't appear to be so as on other part of document the F is very definite having both ascender and descender. But I will bear in mind what you have said about births, it was 1841.

In my first post I meant "could it be one letter" not one word, sorry about that.

Have you found him on any census?
1851 onwards gives a place of birth!

Looks like Holford to me.

Is William the son of George and Ann Searby, living in 1851 in Huttoft?  If so, then it is said that he was born in Goulceby, which comes under the Registration District of Horncastle, where there is a birth registration in June quarter 1841 of a William Searby.  If this is the right family, then the other children are said to be born in Huttoft.

According to GENUKI, Huttoft is 5 miles from ALFORD  :-\

I thank you all for trying.

We have already found that couple and for want of any proof have at this point dismissed them or at least put them to one side.

In this new document William is the father of three children born in USA and three in Australia the last being the one referred to now. I hoped it would show his place of birth, I'm wishing William had been the Informant instead of his wife, that would have made things clearer.

Kate,

May I please ask when did William arrive in Australia?  Have you checked for his 'Native Place' on the passenger list?

Cheers JM
