Thanks Bumble bee That was quick !!
Could I please ask if you can find Williams' birth 16 feb 1813 at Derby Hills which I believe is part of Ticknall. I need to know his father as I think I have William attached to the wrong family.

I can't see anything. FreeREG is just that - free to use. Not complete as records are being uploaded continually. FreeREG contains transcriptions, by volunteers, from original parish registers.
Family Search has a baptism of William Briggs on 16 February 1813 at Gumley, Leicestershire. Parents John and Hannah. If I were you, I would endeavour to verify this entry from the original parish registers. ;)

Thanks Bumbleb
I had come across that entry but I have recently had cause to reconsider it, as when I find his parent s and siblings on the census William is the only child born in Derbyshire Two older siblings and two younger were all born in Gumly so it seems a bit strange. Thanks again Jean

Check the parish registers! Do NOT rely on transcriptions. :) ;)
