Baptisms then often took place a few weeks after birth, so I would think he was born late 1795 or early 1796 for a baptism in Feb 1796. Unfortunately it is just a transcription and no image online.

Thank you.
On some public family trees, they list a Robert Fitch as being the father of the Thomas Fitch that was married to Mary.  Also, that Robert was born in 1751.  Is it possible to confirm this? 
This Robert Fitch was married to Frances Adams on 09/09/1749 (although one record says 09/11/1749). I have written down that he was born in 1730...can't remember where that came from.

That probably came from this record

If you check FamilySearch you might be able to trace the family back further.

I want just replying and your latest mails came through. So I need to rewrite this.
This latest information you have given me is extremely useful. I will digest and continue my search from there.
It may be that I need to look at marriage/birth/death certificates.
I see there are some Fitch family trees that go right back to the Fitches and the De Montfitches/ De Montfiquets. Who knows, we may get there!
Thank you so much for your help.
