Title: George Hitchings/Hitchins
Post by: patience on Sunday 17 January 16 11:15 GMT (UK)

Hi,
I am trying to trace the parents of George Hitchings/Hitchins  He was born in 1801 in Devises, Wiltshire.  At some stage he moved to Brighton, Sussex where he married Eliza in 1821.

Could somebody point me in the right direction on how to trace his parents?

Thank you
Patience

Have you tried Wiltsgire OPC?

Generally speaking, the parish records will be with Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre.
