Jonathan Brassington - Caverswall

[blackpool]

I'm trying to trace Jonathan Brassington's baptism which would have been around 1759 according to his age on NBI. And as he lived most of his life in Caverswall I'm hoping it was there. If anyone is able to do a look up for me I would be very grateful.

There is the baptism of a Jonathan Brassington 1.11.1757 at St James Longton parents Phillip and Hannah - Phillips occupation was a sawyer

Wow, that was quick! Don't know if it's the right one as he didn't have children called Philip or Hannah and at his marriage he was a husbandman. On the other hand I doubt there are too many Jonathan Brassingtons around so I guessing it's right. It's only about 3 miles from Caverswall.
Many thanks.

Yes luckily its not a common name there is a Phillip Brassington baptised 16.2.1728 Cheddleton parents Jonathan and Sarah who might be his father it might be that Jonathan did have a children called Phillip or Hannah but you haven't come across them yet

I think the repetition of Jonathan a generation back is very persuasive, so thanks again and I shall keep working at it.

Just looked on Ancestry. According to them there is a baptism of a Jonathan Brassington 1/11/1857 rather than 1/11/1757. Did you get it wrong or is it them?

I think he would have most likely been baptised at St Peters,Caverswall..

DUUUUHHH! yes I got it wrong but there is a John Brassington born 17.5.1761 baptised 24.5.1761 at Caverswall parents Henry and Ann but without looking at the record I don't know if it Was Jonathan shortened down

Managed to get on FindMyPast it is down as John

And I thought it was just me who made daft mistakes! Ah well, thanks for trying. I'll keep the John in mind, otherwise it's back to the drawing board.
