Hello all,
I am trying to find the date of birth and parents names of
George Sidgwick who was born c. 1826 in Gainford.
In 1841 he was around 15 and working in a farm.
Are there any parish records online where I could find him ?
Thanks for your kind help and my best wishes,
Annick

As he married after 1837 - do you have a copy of his marruage cert showing his fathers name?
Somebody called Nicky Cunningham may be connected to this family as he/she has notified transcription errors to Ancestry

Hello Carole,
Thanks for your message.
I think George Sidgwick married Jane Smart in Darlington in 1852.
I haven't got his marriage cert. I have just started this research actually.
How can I contact Nicky Cunningham ?
Best wishes from Paris,
Annick

You could try looking at the Durham Bishops transcripts for Gainford which can be found here
http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails;c=1309819;t=browsable;w=270
Select Durham, and then Gainford.
You will have to trawl through the pages to find the appropriate years - they are not searchable by name.
Please be aware that ages were usually rounded down to the nearest five years in the 1841 census, so that someone entered as aged fifteen could actually have been aged anything from 15 to 19. Therefore George's date of birth could be anything between about 1822 and 1826 if you are calculating it from the 1841 census.

Carole,
I haven't got an Ancestry subscription at the moment, but a pay-per-view at Findmypast.
I would be grateful if you could send a message to Nicky.
Thanks for the census details. I really do appreciate your help.
JenB,

To both of you, a huge THANKS !!!

Annick,
Haughton le Side was in Denton Chapelry, so you should also try the Denton records, which you will find under Gainford.
Yes they do take a short time to download, but there is a wealth of information to be found.
I have already looked at several pages, but found nothing yet.

George was baptised at Manfield in Yorkshire.
You can see details of George and his family here

Please let me know if you have anything to add or correct - how are you descended from George?
