Hello Jan
Thank you for the re direct route.
We are looking for parents & anything pre 1734 for our ancestor John Lashmar. Born  ant 1734 in West Grinstead. Married Hannah Borer or Borrer in 1759 in Shipley. 5 children all born in West Grinstead . John died 1799.

Many Thanks

Anne

Hi Anne

OK I'll see what I can find but may I ask how you know John was born in West Grinstead pre 1734 if you've not found his baptism yet? Thanks

Jan, the SMI states John Lashmere - subject detail "West Grinstead" the marriage took place in Shipley and Hannah Borer "otp"

Whether John was born in WG remains to be seen but he must have been living there at the time of marriage to have been described thus ?

Thanks Suey. So he could have been born anywhere really.

Where did you get the pre 1734 birth year from  Anne?

Thanks sillgen. I did see that thread but still wondering where the 'pre 1734' actually comes from - family search?

I will have a look in the West Grinstead PR's Anne, with luck they will have a transcript for the relevant years which will make it easier to cover a wide range of years including post 1734. Be prepared for him not being there though as place of residence at marriage is not necessarily where someone was born. Fingers crossed

Hi Jan

Sillgen has located my source - the work done by Kay & sent to me in 13-14 October.
We don't have any more info about this generation.
I'm new to all this, so have not known how to look for pre census information myself.
Hoping a little light will emerge.
Yours gratefully
Anne

I haven't forgotten your look-up Anne, but it is looking increasingly unlikely that I will get to the Records Office before the New Year. 
If anyone else has requests please continue to post here.

Regards
Jan
