Hi Al, You mentioned that they had superb signatures so I wanted to get a copy to see for myself.

Hey Ricky, I could have Emailed you a copy off the register if you had asked.

This is my first posting on this site, which I am truly amazed by.   I just returned from my 1st visit to Atherstone (from Seattle) to research my family.

I am looking for the birth parents of Mary Bostock, born in Mancetter about 1825.  Apparently Mary had an illegitimate son named Thomas Bostock (born in Atherstone) who is my great grandfather.   My family records of the Bostocks end at Mary.   I do not know who her parents are or who the father of her child might have been.   It is said that she was sent to the Workhouses in Atherstone.

Mary's son Thomas ended up having a very large family of 11 or 12 children all raised in Atherstone.   I do have alot of information on his family.

I would appreciate any information you might find on this Bostock family.   I will be searching this site to see if I can help others with their research as well.

Thank you,

Randall Bostock

Atherstone came under Mancetter in those days. The Parish Registers would probably not have named the father. I will search for her christening next time I am looking at the Mancetter records.

Have you her whereabouts in 1841 census, if not I would open up a new thread asking for details.

Further to above a look in the IGI gives us Mary Bostock christened Mancetter 17 March 1825, daughter of John and Amy Bostock

John married Amy King 27th March 1815 at Mancetter.

John Bostock christened 7 November 1793 at Mancetter son of Joseph and Sarah.

It's all there in the IGI.

Thank you for this information.   I thought I had checked the IGI in the past.  With the source of information coming from the parish records for Mancetter, I feel comfortable with Mary's parents being  John  and Amy and John's parents being Joseph and Sarah.

This is information I had on some old papers but did not know the source.   Thank you so much for this information.   This site also gave me information on Mary's brother Joseph born in Mancetter.
