Title: Beyond 1749!!
Post by: cass on Monday 02 October 06 19:02 BST (UK)

I have managed to trace back my relative John Whitfield to his christening in August 1749 in Mallerstang, Westmoreland. Has anyone any ideas on how I can trace his parents (?father was called Thomas) and beyond? Unfortunately I cannot remember where this christening information came from as I have looked  on IGI but cannot find it. Any help most welcome. Cass

Hi again Cass

I have John Whitfield 1749, wife Jane, children Thomas 1776 and Amy 1779 Mallerstang.  I have his father recorded as Andrew abt 1726, but once again no record of where I found this information.

(I must have found this information quite early on in my family history research as I am more careful now with recording sources.  I can in no way guarantee it is reliable.)
