Buckthorp
« on: Sunday 12 September 10 17:53 BST (UK) »
I am looking for proof of Charles Buckthorp's baptism, my great great grandfather. 

  • he was born 1835/7 at probably Grantham, Lincolnshire from census and marriage records
  • the 1841 census shows him at Westgate. Lincoln with his parents
  • I believe his parents were Henry Buckthorp and Ann Rix
  • his father was a 30 year old stone mason from Hertford
  • 1851 Census at Newport St, Lincoln
  • Siblings Sophia, Frederick, Henry, Anne, Samuel, Agnes, David
  • Charles married in 1869 to Sarah King

I have been unable to trace his birth although the census tells me he was born in Lincoln. Can anyone help me here?

Interestingly, there appears to have been an earlier marriage shortly after the 1861 census-

1 July 1861, Lincoln (St Mary le Wigford)
Chales BUCKTHORP (son of Henry) to Elizabeth Susanna CARLILL (dau of Thornton)

Elizabeth Susannah BUCKTHORP was buried 20 Sept 1868 aged 27 at Canwick Rd Cemetery.  Presumably, she was the mother of Rosanna and Clara.  One baptism is in the IGI http://tinyurl.com/2uuht2w

Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.
