Hi Folks
I'm trying to track down my elusive 2G grandfather, William Paget. b abt 1833. He married Elizabeth Hyett in 1863 and I have found them on census 1871 through 1901 in Boddington & Staverton parishes.
The marriage certificate states that William's father was Henry.
I can't find any trace of the family before William & Elizabeth's marriage.
I am hoping some kind person will be able to do a parish records lookup for me and see if there is any trace of his birth/baptism. I couldn't find him on the LDS website either.
Thanks
Lynsey

Well Tati, aren't you the clever one! :D
On William & Elizabeth's marriage certificate Henry is a shepherd, so I think you have found them.
I've been searching the census on Ancestry.com for long time and it never came up with any of these.
Thankyou so much, I will investigate further
