I hope you aren't too disheartened. Everyone makes mstakes at this genealogy lark  :-\ I know I've made some right hooters in the past, but coming onto this site I know there are plenty of people who are only too willing to help you get it right.

Claire :)

I am disappointed as it dismays everything we've found before. But I can only imagine that years ago I found the IGI records and being naïve I used that as fact.

Well, you weren't wrong in that one Henry Townrow was baptised on 31 Oct 1808. It just doesn't seem as though it was your Henry who was baptised that day!!

Anyway, if you're going to look at the Edingley Henry, you've got some good information above to kickstart your new hunt.

And you may be interested to know that Henry was actually a pretty successful shepherd - he won prizes in competitions for aspects of sheepherding! (again, from newspaper extracts).

Yes,

I saw those last night in FindMyPast. You should maybe take advantage of tha £1 offer they have for a month. There is a thread on the site about it.
That's also where I found the Edingley baptism.

Happy hunting

Just to add that as you go further back you might find that the Townrow surname becomes more difficult to track due to spelling differences.

I have "on hold" (ie I'm not certain where exactly they fit into my tree, only that they do somewhere!) one Ann Spray who married a George Toundra in the early 1700s and that surname seems to modify over a couple of generations and may very well have become Townrow.

I already have access to online newspaper resources but will have a look at FindMyPast website. Thank you.
