Cheshire Lookup Requests / CONGLETON SETTLEMENT
« on: Friday 28 November 14 05:19 GMT (UK) »
I was wondering whether anyone who has access to settlements for Congleton could try and help me verify something please?
I believe that my 6xgt grandfather Thomas Elkin was born in Trentham, Staffordshire, in 1740 but that sometime between then and his marriage in 1768 he settled in Congleton (at which time he was recorded as 'of Congleton').
The only problem is that without proof of settlement I can't be 100% sure that I have the correct baptism and so I'm a bit stuck.
Is there anyone who could possibly help?
Thanks
Sam
