Hello Phil,
I've just read your kind offer to help look up info on families from the Whittington nr Lichfield area   which is where "my" Callingwoods were around 1690.

6xgt grandfather John Callingwood was born in Whittington in 1693, father William Callingwood.  He seems to have siblings Humphrey, Thomas, william and Mary.

John marries unknown and has my 5x gt grandmother Catherine Callingwood around 1735 in Whittington .  Catherine later marries Thomas Wetton in Lichfield.

I'd very much like to know an exact date for Catherine's baptism (to confirm John is her father)  Also whom John married   and any more information about John's father William Callingwood.

many many thanks
