Fathers name do not appear on marriage entries until 1.7.1837. Place of birth is never shown
Entries will often say OTP - of this parish. However - that doesn't always mean they were born in that parish - only that they satisfied the necessary residential requirements to marry there (I think about 21 days)

Hi,
6th Dec 1808 to Ann Watson, by Banns, both used their mark "x". Witnesses Thom. Norris & Mary Pennyman* (both signed their own names); James Palmer Curate. *could also be Perryman - sorry!
Both of the Parish (but as Carolew says this does not mean they actually lived there)
Junev
PS there is also a william Blower who married in 1803 in Westminster but he could write his own name.
-
thank you so much junev, how kind of you, i am very grateful.
i understand that william's was the first marriage in hillingdon and am trying to establish where the blower family originally came from.
thank you again.

Hi
There are no birth registrations before 1st July 1837 when civil registration began. Before that there is only information in parish registers for baptisms, marriages and burials.
Ancestry has the parish registers online for baptisms for 1813 onwards and will eventually place earlier parish entries online.
Ancestry offers a two week free trial. Many libraries subscribe to Ancestry so it is possible to access Ancestry records from your local main library.
This website gives information on the sort of information you will find in parish registers

I realise this is an old post, but wonder if anyone does have access to Hillingdon registers if they could find burials for Moses Treadaway and Lydia Treadaway, both about 1832 or later. Many Thanks.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat
Lydia Treadaway aged 68 was buried at St John the Baptist Hillingdon on 23.9.1832
There is a burial for a Moses Treadaway aged 80 on 9.5.1837 - previous address workhouse - but it was at St Giles in the Fields Camden
-
Thanks so much for this. It confirms the Lydia that I already have, but seems you may have found Moses for me.. Thanks again. Barbara

Hi BarbaraJay
It is not always a good idea posting new requests at the end of an old topic when your person of interest is not related. Topics with a large post count are sometimes overlooked as there is a perception that the research is already underway.
Starting a new topic is a better way forward in the future.
Hope this helps.

Sorry if I did wrong. I've not used this site before, and came upon this message via a search. Barbara

Hi Barbara
Many people join Rootschat as a result of an internet search and no, you didn't do anything wrong.
But to get the best results, if your person of interest isn't the same as those you find on a search, then starting a new topic is the best way forward. I can see why you tacked your request onto the bottom of this as it is to do with St John's Hillingdon but not William Bower.
Happy hunting
Dawn

Thank you ;)

CaroleW.. are you able to see the entry for the Moses Treadaway burial? Barbara
-
Carole has given the full details from the burial register on her previous post (reply #8) and Bookbox more background information on your other topic
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=752513.0
It's possible this is the man you are looking for but he is away from home and the workhouse registers with more information aboutr him nay not survive.
I did look at the admission & discharge register for him but couldn't find an entry but the pages are in a real muddle and some might have been lost.

Thanks for your help.. Barbara ;)
