Dear all,
Could someone help with a lookup?
A Mary Winder(s) married Thomas Lucas Sept 20, 1802 in Leeds, Yorkshire. The witnesses were John ?Dickson (?sp) and Thomas Atkinson.
Thomas Atkinson was also the name of a vicar in Reighton, and he died in Langtoft in 1809, according to information on the Internet.
The connection for me is that Mary Winder (my GGGM) married Richard Derrom (Derram) in York (Toronto), Canada 10 Nov 1813. She had previously been widowed, probably in the same year and her previous married name had been "Lucas". Both men were sergeants in the 8th regiment of Foot. I am therefore trying to find the birth certificate or baptism of Mary Winder(s).
I was wondering if the witness, Thomas Atkinson was the same Thomas Atkinson as the vicar of Reighton, and if so, perhaps he was there as a friend of Mary Winder(s). If so, then perhaps she was born and/or grew up in Reighton.
I was therefore hoping that someone could look up the births there. Our records say that she was born on December 10, 1782.
Many thanks,
Marc
