Title: MAJORS in Epworth area.
Post by: Airmyn on Saturday 30 December 06 20:21 GMT (UK)

I am trying to find the parents of Thomas Major who on censuses claimed he was born in Belton Lincs in 1792. I haven't had any luck with Belton and wondered if he had been baptized elsewhere. Thanking you in advance. Keith.

Hi Keith,
I have looked at Epworth and Owston Ferry. There are families called Major or Mager in both areas but sadly I couldn't find a Thomas. Have you tried spelling it Mager in the Belton records?
Happy hunting,
Kate.

Hi Kate, Thank you for your reply. In my search for Thomas the name Major has been spelt Major, Mager, Magor, Majer , Maygor and Mayjer. I will have to try searching using  another instead of Major and see if I get any results. Best wishes, Keith.
