Hello,
I am searching for a Gilmorton birth/baptism parish record for my Gt.x3 Grandfather,
Henry PITT born c. 1778 or 1782. I am trying to verify where he was born and his parentage.
From the IGI it notes his marriage to Grace Woodcock in 1806 in Gilmorton and, where it indicates his birth, it simply states he was born 'Of Gilmorton, Leicester', but no date. His marriage details that someone found for me indicate he was 'Of this parish'.
Unfortunately, the marriage details do not give the name of his father. Henry Pitt was a farmer and Grazier in Gilmorton at the time of his marriage to Grace in 1806.
Henry moved to Pembridge, Herefordshire around 1813 and then Upton upon Severn, Worcestershire around 1828.
Would anyone have access to parish records for Gilmorton and kindly do a look-up to ascertain if he was born there around 1778 (year derived from age at marriage) or 1782 (year derived from age at death)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It would be great to find out who his parents were and solve this mystery.
Thank you
,
Jilly
