Please could someone check baptisms at Barony All Saints and St Mary and St Nicholas Nantwich for a John Clare born abt 1831.
Also MIs/burials from Barony All Saints for surnames Clare, Cockbain or Broadhurst.
Thank you very much.

That would be really kind and might help me knock down one of my brick walls re John Clare.
I am now hoping for lots of dry weather! ;D

Hi Claire,
Nantwich Parish Records are available online at http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/ but couldn't see a John Clare baptised 1831. 41 Clare burials listed, no Cockbains but there are some Broadhursts.
What makes you think that your John Clare was from Nantwich?

I found an index of surnames mentioned in Cheshire MIs at www.freespace.virgin.net/ttindexes/cheshire and it listed Cockbain and Clare as both occuring at Barony All Saints.
As I have John Clare age 10 living with William Cockbain and Thomas and Harriet Broadhurst at Sandbach on 1841 census and am struggling to find John's parentage I was hoping there might be a clue on a gravestone. Also thought it worth checking a possible baptism at the same time although that is even more of a long shot. Any leads on this gratefully received.
