Hi Gavin,
I hope after this number of years this link is still active.
We have been in contact before about our relation Thomas Fozard born abt.1819 who married Hannah Jagger in the Dewsbury area, I'm now re-visiting it all in the hope of finding definate info about his parents as more records come online.
Have you ever heard that he may actually have been christened George Thomas? I've been looking thru some of my notes and found an entry I'd put about this, I was wondering if this could help to track his parents down as looking for a Thomas I can only find entries for christenings in 1814 (too early) or 1824 (possibly too late) in the right areas!
Any info you have to add that might help would be great.
Best Wishes

Hi,
Yes, I think he probably was baptised George Thomas Fozard. The Dewsbury baptism list shows
George/Thomas Fozard c.16/8/1818 son of John (clothier)& Sarah of Soothill             
I can't now remember who helpfully pointed this out to me.
If this is correct then the most likely parents for him are John Fozard (b.1777) and Sarah (nee Scott b.1778) who married in 1798 but I can't prove it. Please let me know if you come up with anything firm. If this is correct his father looks like being Joseph Fozard who possibly was born 1746 and married Mary Lancaster.
Best of luck
Gavin

Hi Gavin,
Thanks for your very prompt reply, thats a great help as I just couldn't find his likely details. I have a lot of the line you indicate thru' John to Joseph as a possible (probably from you earlier-thanks)etc but having done as much as I can on lots of my other lines I'm returning to this one to try and verify as much as I can.
If I find out anything useful I will definately let you know.
Thanks again and best wishes.
