Margaret Kneeshaw-Stokesley

[diroka]

Hi. I am looking for a birth or baptism record for Margaret Kneeshaw born about 1810 in Stokesley, according to census records. I believe her father may be Thomas Kneeshaw, born about 1782 in Pickering. Margaret married John Pearson in the parish church in Acklam in 1837.
Thank you.
Kathy

The baptism record for Margaret gives Thomas's occupation as mercer and at Ann's it's mercer and grocer, sadly Ann was buried age 3 on 02 November 1815.

There are also baptisms for the children of Robert and Sarah Kneeshaw and Thomas's marriage if you're interested.

You're welcome .

18 April 1808 St. Peter & St. Paul, Stokesley, Thomas Kneeshaw married Susanna Fawcett both of this Parish by licence. Witnesses: G. Kneeshaw, Mary Kneeshaw and Wm. Skelton.

there's also 18 July 1808: Mary Kneeshaw of this parish married Benjamin Adamson of Scarborough by licence. Witnesses: G.Kneeshaw, Thomas Adamson and Ann Kneeshaw.

I couldn't find a marriage in Stokesley for Robert & Sarah but plenty of children. Robert's occupation was watchmaker.

Dear Barbara,
Thank you again. This is tremendously helpful. You mentioned having this on microfiche. Is it also on CD for purchase?
And MI:::: does that mean monument inscription or something else?
