Lookup William Harper - Whittlesea

[Robyn373]

Could anyone with the Whittlesea Parish Register transcripts be able to look up birth details?  Or could you direct me to where I could obtain this information?

I looked up the Cambridgeshire Baptism Index 1801 -37 and found two William Harper's baptised in Whittlesey.

1809  HARPER WILLIAM Age 3d bb. of Ann & Robt. Anderson Whittlesey.
1813  HARPER WILLIAM - Abode Cheap Lane of William & Maria Whittlesey St. M.

David (a helpful person from Ancestry Board) thought the younger one would be my GG Grandfather.

On the 1841 Cencus Records he is noted as William Horper.
And from the ages noted on 1861, 1871 all note his age at abt. 1811.

William Harper m Tabatha Crouch in Ramsey 12 May 1834.
Children: George, William, Tabetha, Elizabeth, Henry, Thomas, Joseph, Mary Ann, Frederick, Susan.

Hi Robyn

No, you're muddling the. The younger William who I think is yours, ie chr 1813, is the son of William and Maria per the Cambs Baptism Index, so the marriage found by Sue is the one you're looking for

This is great information I can now send for Certificates.

Pre 1837 so therefore no certificates. You can get a copy of the entry in the parish register which will give you the date, the two parties, two witnesses who may or may not be relatives, parish of residence and possibly age. No fathers' names unfortunately.  You might need to order the microfilm at your nearest LDS Family History Centre. It doesn't seem to have been transcribed by Cambs FHS, but I vaguely recall reading about Wisbech parish registers somewhere on this board.  I'll have a look after lunch and see if I can find anything

David,  thanks this is very much appreciated.  My son and nephews are enrapped at the people I have discovered and added to our tree.  (Skeletons have come out of the closet as well).  I am the only person in at least 6 generations to research our Family Tree.  At least I know the hours of researching will be preserved for generations to come. I have included three branches of my family as editors so if anything happens to me Our Tree will continue to be updated and all my work and with the help I have received from fellow geneologists will never be lost.

Regards
Robyn
