Townrow

There are no baptisms for a Hen* Town* with parents John and Mary on the Notts disc. I wonder where this info came from?

The specific date of 31 Oct 1808 is the date of baptism for Henry Townrow s/o Benjamin and Elizabeth in Newark -- but Larkspur has found that burial in Newark that muddies those waters.

Baptisms to Benjamin and Elizabeth in Newark between 1805 - 1818: John, William, Henry, Ann, Elizabeth. Benjamin was an ostler at the last baptism.

Baptisms to Thomas and Elisabeth Townrow in Edingley: Henry 1805 and Mary 1807.

I don't think that gets us anywhere!!

Hi Paul

I am aware of Headingley in Leeds, but there is an EDINGLEY in Nottinghamshire too

That is possible if it is a typo/transcription error.

Unless the information I have on Henry are false and he wasn't baptised then but even if this proves to be false I am confident myself and my father have their names correct.

Except that there is a burial for Henry Townrow in Newark as per Larkspur's post, and the Henry who married Hannah gives a birthplace which looks/sounds like Edingley ----

In the 1851 census Henry gives his place of birth as GRAVES LANE.

EDINGLEY:  covers 1,759 acres and includes the hamlets of Osmondthorpe and Graves Lane.

paulmh -- where did the baptism date come from?

[Annie65115]

I suspect the Edingley Townrow family moved to Farnsfield with these subsequent baptisms at St Michael  (father Thomas, a labourer; mother Elizabeth, abode Farnsfield):

1810 05 06   Dau   Elisabeth   
1812 10 25   Dau   Sarah   
1816 04 15   Son   George   

There are no Townrow burials at Edingley. Sarah was buried at Farnsfield in Nov 1814.
