Title: John Napp/Knapp/Knap/Napp born c.1748?
Post by: joenix on Tuesday 04 June 13 17:00 BST (UK)
Hello,
I am asking a handful of look-up request pages in order to trace the birth of the descendant mentioned above.
I donīt want to take advantage of this service, but the area I am searching in spans a number of counties (Hunts, Rutland, N'pton, Leics & Cambs).
Would someone possibly be able to search the indexes for mention of the Napp/Knapp/Knap/Nap family of this period in time? I am sure John was born in 1748 and am definitely not more than 5 years out. He died in Deene in 1823 aged 75.
Although John lived in Weldon from at least 1772 when he married there, I can not find any mention of him or possible family members in the Weldon records.
I am therefore doing a scan within a 25 mile radius (seeing as my labouring family never moved far).
I have no idea of any siblings or parents names.
Thank you for your time,
Sarah
Bruges, Belgium.

There's no baptism index for Hunts.

Thank you! It seems the Haddon Knapps have been there a while.
