Sibton, Suffolk
« on: Wednesday 26 February 14 02:51 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for baptism info regarding parents of William Smith, who was born in Sibton abt 1787, according to  later census records. He must have moved to London where he was a butcher and married Ann Brown abt 1816. Recurring names in the family are James, George, William, Daniel, Ann and Sarah.  Perhaps he had siblings of the same names.  I don't know if his whole family moved to London or not.  With a name like Smith it is almost impossible to make any progress against this brick wall.  Any suggestions gratefully received. Thank you.

Taken from Sibton parish register.

William s/o Samuel and Sarah Smith late Newson
Born September ___ 1786 privately baptised October ___ 1786.
Sorry I couldn't read the exact dates  :(

Also some siblings:
Sarah 6th Jan 1782
Nicholas bn 5th May 1790 privately baptised 4th June 1790
Nicholas bn 13th June 1791 privately baptised 4th August 1791

There were several Smith families baptising children in Sibton at this time, but as far as I can tell this is the only William?
