I am trying to confirm the parents of William JIMBY, born c1812 in Salhouse.
Can anyone find a Baptism entry for him?
I think the parents are James and Margaret, who had at least 4 other children (Emily, Sarah Ann, Ebenezer, James) in the Strumpshaw area.
The surname seems to have various spelling including JIMBY, JUMBY, GINBY, GIMBY, GINBEY depending on the transcription/handwriting.
If anyone can help I would be most appreciative.

Have you looked through the Salhouse PRs here:

Hi Jen
There's a James Ginbey married Margaret Harper 16 Nov 1807 in Hemblington with an Edward baptised 1809 and Ann 1811, then in Strumpshaw I can see Emily 1813, Ebenezer 1815 and Sarah Ann 1817.
Couldn't find a William in Salhouse nor James
this site is useful too http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tinstaafl/index.htm

Thank you Ruskie and Yokel
I have been looking through those records, but I think I need to get back before 1813 to find him.
The family seems to change Parish a lot, as some of William's Children are born in Heckingham, Loddon and Thurlton, and he got married in Hardley, and died in St Faiths.
I did find the records for those people you mentioned Yokel, and I am only guessing that it is the same James mentioned. I can't prove it conclusively at the moment, which is why I need to find a birth/Baptism record for William to find out. In one place his birth is given as Hautbois instead of Salhouse, so that is my next port of call.

I found a missing baptism for Salhouse in the Salhouse Particular Baptist registers.
