Baptisms circa 1808 - Leek Staffordshire
« on: Friday 31 October 14 18:34 GMT (UK) »
HI All

I am looking for the baptism of Harriet Bentley circa 1808
Married Benjamin Thompson 1826 in Leek (just found thanks to a wonder Rootschat member)
I'd also like to find a baptism for Benjamin Thompson circa 1808 as well.

They went onto baptize I believe 4 children in the parish before moving to Derby.

I'd appreciate the hand immensely

HUGE THANKS - I really appreciate your help ;D

So, Harriet was 16 when she married Benjamin Thompson in 1826
 And I suspect there were children prior to the oldest four I found for them in Leek on Family Search beginning in 1831 with John Thompson.

Thanks
