Hi Carol
Thanks for your reply. The 1798 Morton entry was one of my choices. Wllm was 52 when he died, making his birth 1800 but ages are never very specific. But I needed to eliminate the other possibilities before settling for a date that was 2 years out!
Brackenfield didn't have a church to register baptisms at that time so Wllm could easily have been baptised in any of the following places (although Morton should have been the one)
5 May 1799 Ashover to Wllm and Elizabeth
4 May 1799 St Peter's Derby to Wllm and Elizabeth
7 Aug 1799 Shirland to Wllm and Mary
18 May 1800 North Wingfield to Wllm and Jane
The difficult signature on the wedding entry for Wllm in 1828 could have been JANE Hopkinson. But when I went to Derby RO her sig on other documents was different .(However there was a considerable time lapse between them )
I was hoping that other Roots Chat members would be able to eliminate some of my choices so that I could settle for the correct one!! I really want to know what happened to the 1800 North Wingfield William.
I found difficulty tracing Wllm and Ann of Morton on the 1841 Census
