Shropshire Lookup Requests / Birch - can anyone help?
« on: Thursday 30 July 09 13:13 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to find the marriage of Robert Birch.  He was born around 1818 in Preston, Shropshire.  He married Martha (she was born around 1828 in Baschurch).  Their first child seems to have been born in 1847, when Martha would have been 19.  I am also, of course, looking for the names of their parents, so a baptism for Robert would also be very useful!

If anyone can help I will be eternally grateful!

That was my first thought too.  I haven't got William's baptism (I'm only working from the IGI here as I haven't been able to visit Yorkshire to look at parish records), but from the census his birth year seems to have been either 1792 or 1796, both years being after the marriage of his parents in 1791.  But... we all know how unreliable birth years worked out from the census can be, so you could well be right.

I did.  William's mother's name was Elizabeth Dimaline/Demaline.  I have found the marriage of William Goulden senior and Elizabeth Dimaline in 1791, so I don't know why their son used the name at the time of his marriage in 1815.  Another of life's little mysteries!

Thank you Jill, that is really helpful.  The 1794 Elizabeth does look hopeful.  Thank you for your offer to look them up next time you are in the Record Office - I would be extremely grateful for this.

Thanks again

Hi Jill

Thanks for getting back on this.  I had picked up the Elizabeths in the IGI, but as "my" Elizabeth gives her birthplace as Skelton, and as none of her children have any of these possible grandparents' names, I was hoping the parish records of Elizabeth's marriage to William Goulden might show her father's name to settle the issue.

Perhaps the next port of call will be Skelton baptisms.  I don't suppose you have access to these.....?

Thanks again.

Would anybody be able to look up a marriage in Howden for me please?

William Goulden married Elizabeth Leighton on 17th December 1815 in Howden.  I am trying to determine who Elizabeth's parents were.  Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance
