Parish records Morcott for Browett

[Thriza]

Hello
My great great grandmother Ann Browett married Thomas Cobley in Morcott September 1826.   Please can you find a birth for her?   Many thanks in advance for your help and time.  Much appreciated.  Thanks Gill

Hi

You don't give any details of her birthyear but have you looked on the IGI at www.familysearch.org as there are 2 possibles both b Morcott - 1801 and 1808

Hi,

I think one of those baptisms in IGI may have been a mistake as the 1801 record isn't in the transcribed parish records that I have. IGI is a bit hit and miss -  I wonder if the 1801 record was really referring to Ann's sister Hannah?:

16   OCT   1808   ANN   BROWET   D/O   ANDREW/ANN
11   MAY   1800   HANNAH   BROWET   D/O   ANDREW/ANN
16   DEC   1804   THOMAS   BROWET   S/O   ANDREW/ANN
24   MAR   1811   JOHN   BROWETT   S/O   ANDREW/ANN
20   MAR   1803   NICHOLAS   BROWETT   S/O   ANDREW/ANN

I found this marriage as well:
15   NOV   1790   ANDREW   BROWETT   MORCOT      ANN   MITCHEL   MORCOT   BANNS

This suggests that there ought to have been more children between 1790 & 1800. Maybe they married in Morcott and went to live elsewhere for 10 years. Or it may be a different couple of course. But Morcott was and is a small village, so hopefully not.

I couldn't find any earlier Browett baptisms in Morcott or any for Mitchel at any date. I had a quick look in my other Rutland villages - list of them in the Lookup Offers page - and didn't find them there either.

Hi Laura

That is very kind of you, thank you very much for taking the time to look for me.  The IGI is useful but you can't beat the Parish Registers.
