Hi , for personal reasons i need to find a record of my baptism. I've looked online for advice but i'm just going round in circles . As the last of my family i have no one to ask where i was baptised but it would have been in the Jarrow region of what was part of Durham in 1963 . If anyone could offer advice of where i should be looking it would be greatly appreciated .
Kind regards
Richard

Hi All
I have found the death of Frederick Strasenburg on Scotlands people . He is registered as Frederick Stransenburg , death October 21st 1844. He was living in Johnston Street North Leith at the time of death and his occupation was a Carpenter . Age was 63 , so birth was 1781 -- was in Scotland or Germany ?

Hi , yes it was Frederick the son who died at sea . They may well have had a daughter named Jane .

Hi,
Thats interesting that it has his place of birth as Scotland . I have got his marriage certificate which indicates that his wife's ie Jean's parents being John Brown and Isabella Scott but i can find no record of her birth . They also had a son Frederick Strasenburg my grt grt grt grandfather born July 25th 1824. Her was Captain of a brig called Lawsons . He was swept overboard as the vessel headed in to a storm having set sail from cronstadt sept 25th 1862.

Hi CaroleW
I can find the death of Jean who died 1858 North Leith but nothing of Frederick . I have found possible and i say possible parents ie George Friedrich Strasenburg and Anna Marie Brixen on Family Search . There are not too many Strasenburgs's of the right age group that i can find but i have no proof that these are his parents . I'm also wondering if Strasenburg is a jewish surname.

Hi,
I'm looking to trace the ancestry of Frederick Charles Strasenburg born Germany circa 1790 . He was a mariner and moved to North Leith Scotland where he married Jean Brown in 1807. It would be wonderful if i could find out anything of his birthplace in Germany and parentage. There is evidence of the Strasenburg family name in Brandenburg but i don't know of any connection to Frederick.
regards
