Post by: jeanburton on Thursday 22 September 16 12:49 BST (UK)
Could some one kindley see if they can find a marriage in Ashby of William Briggs and Ann Tetley in 1833.  Their first child was born 18th Aug 1833 in Staunton.
Thanks Jean

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.  :) ;)
