Thanks very much Brummygirl.
I don`t have any experience of looking at Parish Records - I was hoping it might name their fathers but obviously not. Is that always the case?
Best wishes

Hi Jane
Before 1837 fathers were not normally named, you usually just get witnesses "of this or that parish"
after 1837 it is pretty much the same as ours are now

Thanks for your help Brummygirl
Have just had a quick look at your website - looks wonderful!

Hi! If anybody with access to the St. Philip's registers would be able to verify any further information in the following entry (obtained via FamilySearch), that would be much appreciated!

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks for the prompt response, Carol. I don't suppose they recorded the father's occupations in the baptism records at St. Philip's at that time, did they? I only have access to transcripts rather than images...
-
Hi
There wasn't an image for the one I was looking at either. You might be better putting a new request on the Warwickshire page as someone may have more information and is more likely to see your request as this is an old thread.

Brill, thanks Carol.
-
Father is noted as school master. Can't make Thomas's second name out, looks like Sonaz(?!!!) They lived on Edmund St.Image is on Ancestry. :)
-
Thanks, Parmesan - I looked again on Ancestry with a broader search and found it (surname was transcribed as 'Rown'). I think that's where it says "Thomas, son of", rather than a middle name - but yes, his Dad's occupation is there, which is what I needed to confirm it!
Thanks for looking, much appreciated. Reminds me that I need to try broader searches sometimes, to account for transcription errors...!
-
Son of!
of course doh! Glad you found it. I found it by browsing.
-
He may have worked at the Bluecoat School at the rear of St. Phillip's.

Hi, Richard Perkins who married Harriet Kendrick is my ggg grandfather on my grandmother on my dad's side.
I am having trouble sorting out who Richard's parents are.
There is an apprenticeship Indenture record dated 28 April 1774 wherein a William SHEPHERD Citizen & Gun Maker of London, took on a Richard PERKIN as an apprentice for a period of 7 years from 31 March 1774 -
This could be a clue as Richard who married Harriet Kendrick was a Gun and Pistol maker.
I would love to know Harriet's family tree I am sure I found a sister also born at Market Harborough.
Oh and in my part of the family tree the name Kendrick became a boys name (I even had an uncle Kendrick).
Kind Regards,
Wayne Cook

Hi Wayne
Thanks for the message. My 2 x gt grandmother was Elizabeth Kendrick who was Harriett's sister.
Their parents were Thomas Kendrick and Harriet Weston. Thomas was a licensed victualler and they seemed to move around a lot.
I will send you a PM later
