Hi there. The help here has been amazing but I am at an enpasse on one of the legs of my research.
I have managed to get back to George Short, farmer, b 1786 who married Sarah.
They had a child George Short b 1816, d 1880 who married Mary Ann Barker.
They had Walter Short b 1852 d1929 who married Rosina Fisher.
etc etc to me here today.
However Its George and Sarah I would like to try to trace back - but dont know where to look now. Or rather I am looking but not able to make any connection.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks for that Vicky :)
What I am trying to say is that I suspect George Jnrs Mother was Mary and George Snr remarried to a Sarah.
Now we need the Baptisms of Children born to George (poss Mother Mary) from 1812-1816 which I cant find on F/S or FreeREG.
Now this is worth noting also;

(FreeREG)
1851 Census George Short Snr is born c 1787 Holy Moorside, Derbyshire
George SHORT Christened 27 March 1785, St Thomas, Brampton, Derbyshire

According to Genuki;
Old Brampton is~ 2 miles S SK330690 Holymoorside
Info from Familysearch;
Brampton St Thomas, Derbyshire in 1832 with eastern part of Old Brampton parish and from the parish of St Mary and All Saints Chesterfield, Derbyshire Walton, Holymoorside and part of Newbold. A chapel of ease to this parish was built in 1841 at Holymoorside. Newbold with Dunstan was created in 1861 and part of this parish transferred with others forming later in the 20th century.

Wow awesome work there - thank you so very much.
Looks like George made it to a nice ripe old age for that era.
Am i right - looking at the details, seems he was christened before he was born :p
So how to I track back to their parents into the eigthteenth century?
-
Hi

Emily christened 02 Feb 1817 North Wingfield
Elizabeth " 25 May 1821 Whitwell, Derby
William " 20 Apr 1823 Whitwell
John " 16 Oct 1825 Whitwell

George Short Born 1816 doesn't seem to fit the christenings I just listed... you have his parents as George & Sarah. As I'm showing he's still with first wife during 1816. Am I missing something?
