As his birth was circa 1791, there won't be a birth certificate for him. Registration began in 1855. There may a baptism record for him in the Old Parish Records, but not definately!

Sorry,

I should have said that I don't know the names of either parent and have been unable to find any form of birth entry which is why I've pretty much hit a brick wall.

I have a possible date and location for a marriage from LDS IGI, but how do I find more details of the marriage entry - would the actual parish marriage record hold parents names in 1819?

thanks
