Edward Hyde - Prestbury, Baptism Look up request - Pretty Please!
« on: Friday 03 July 09 01:13 BST (UK) »
Hello all.....I am desperately trying to find someone who could please do a lookup for me next time they are visiting the local Cheshire records office etc...I am hamstung with my research at this time as i can only research via internet from Australia and need someone to visit the records office for me to look up the following:

I am wondering if anybody is able to look up a baptism for Edward Hyde, Prestbury, Macclesfield abt 1798. I am trying to find out who Edwards parents were.

He was married to a Sarah Stevenson (Loughborough 1806) on 17 Nov 1818.


Regards.

Lindsay H

Hi,

Just wondering if your request was answered.

I checked at the library of this microfilm from 1796-1800 and could find no baptism for Edward.

Possibly surrounding areas??

Hi Cancan...thank you very much for your reply.

I had no reply to my request other than yours so I really appreciate your response and help. It appears that my GG Grandfather is very illusive...maybe he was baptised somewhere in the surrounding area but I understand Prestbury at that time was quite large so i guess I will have to look at other avenues for records....the census returns for 1841 show he was from 'Prestbury' and his children from Macclesfield.... so he may have moved from Prestbury to Macclesfiled during the 1820's onwards....

I suspect his age may have been a guess or something and he was more likely to have been born somewhere from 1790 - 1796

Any suggestions would be appreciated....

Thanks once again for your help.

Best Regards....Lindsay
