I am looking for the parents of this Moses. In 1841 he was a Farm Servant in Nottinghamshire and in 1851 a Rail Labourer in Doncaster living with wife Ellen Waud who he married in 1849. His birth place is shown as Walkerd, Lincolnshire which I think is Walcott in Billinghay Parish.
Moses went to live in Canada and had several children there. One of the children was called John Franklin Creasey.
My theory is that he might be another illigit son for Elizabeth Creasey 1798-1828 who had Ann Holmes Creasey and Holmes Creasey. Elizabeth Creaseys brother was John 1802-1847 whose wife was Mary Franklin. John and Elizabeth had their own son Moses Creasey but my thinking is that John and Mary raised the younger Moses after Elizabeths death - hence the naming John Franklin Creasey
Attempting to help a Canadian descendant and would appreciate help. Currently cant locate my Bastardy book
Best regards

Hi
You didn't give his birthyear - 1851 shows it as 1826

Hi Carole
I suspect you have forgotten the title of the thread ::)

DUH!!!! I shall just go and bang my head against the proverbial brick wall

Speaking of banging heads against Walls, let me join you. My FTM File and its backup has announced that it is corrupted. Usually save to a different name very frequently but this time its 14. My own stupid fault but still frustrated!!!!
Now to remember what I did during the last 14 days.

I am currently transcribing those records for the Timberland Walcot area at that time for FreeReg so have scans of the original parish register.
However, I can't see a Moses Creasey on the register at that time 1825-1827 , which I have just looked through quickly as haven't quite got up to transcibing those years. A look on IGI also shows no Moses Creasey born in Timberlnad/ Walcot at that time. The only births around those few years for Creaseys are Samuel and Abraham, both of whom were born in wedlock.
I think there is another Walcot near Folkingham but looking at IGI at that period there appears to be no Creasey's ?
Edit : Also looking on Free Reg there does appear to be a Moses Creasey around in Walcot/ Billinghay area but that is a few years later chr. 1844

ps If I come by one later on then I will let you know.

Thank you for looking for me. I think Walcott is in Billinghay Parish rather than Timberland.
Best regards,

There are a lot of Walcot Records that appear in the Timberland Parish records -
Maybe you could choose!!!

Forgot to say that the Moses b1844 was the son of John Creasey and Mary Franklin mentioned.

Hi Jacky
Think you were on the right track looking for Moses Creasey at Walcott near Billinghay.
My g.g.grandad was Robert Franklin from walcott and while I was in the Lincolnshire archives I came across many Creaseys and Franklins in the bap register and bishops transcripts for St Oswalds church Walcott, and the surnames are still in the area. The surname Holmes is also from Billinghay.

The Creaseys and Franklins are in the dozens in that area - just unfortunate that this one did not seem to get baptised.
My Creasey ancestor was Mary 1748 from Billinghay. Not directly descended from Franklins but the link with my extended.
Must look at Bishops transcripts next Lincoln visit
Regards
Jacky
