Baptism Record lookup - Buckley at St Marys Astbury/St Peters Congleton

[barbara taylor]

Is there any kind soul out there who can help me break down a brickwall please?

I'm looking for the baptism of Robert Buckley who was born c 1755 probably at St Marys Astbury and/or St Peters.  He married a Sabra Albiston at St Marys in 1776.  She was christened at St Peters Congleton in 1756 and his 3 known sons Oliver  (1781) Robert (1783) and Henry (my 4 x grt grandfather - 1788) were christened variously at St Peters and St Marys.

From the IGI, it seems there are a lot of Buckleys being baptised, married or buried in the Congleton area both before and after this date but I can't connect them to Robert, without knowing his parents' names and I can't find him on the IGI.

Many thanks and fingers crossed

Hello again,

Back from the RO and have scoured the registers for Astbury, St Mary for years 1751-1757 inclusive. There is nothing for Robert Buckley in these.

Back to see if there is anything in Congleton later on.

This is very kind of you and much appreciated, even if it means I have to rule out St Marys

Hello Barbara,

Bad news I am afraid in that I looked at St Peter's, Congleton from 1752-1761 and couldn't find Robert Buckley in the baptisms.

I don't know this area of Cheshire well enough to suggest alternatives.

Dear AK

Many thanks once again for looking at these registers - it's really good of you. 

There are really so many possibilities of likely churches even just in the neighbourhood that I will obviously have to do a lot more research on.  (Unless of course any other kind soul has any suggestions - all welcome!)
