Hey, I just found a marriage of Robert Meggison and Hanah Johnson, May 5, 1751 which would fit for the birth of a daughter Hannah in 1752 ( the one who married Ralph Bell in 1773). The marriage was in Worsall, North Riding of Yorkshire. It is a transcription. How would one find the original and would it have parents on it, especially his? It was on Findmypast who are having a free weekend this weekend.
I have a feeling this just might be my Robert.

My Robert Meggison died in 1792 at the age of 62, as per gravestone, making him born about 1730. I have never been able to find a birth for him. I wonder if gravestone could possibly say age 67 making him born 1725 for which I do find a birth in Apr, with father Thomas, in Boldon, Co. Durham. As I am thinking his father might be Thomas, this might be possible.  But I don't want to make things fit which really don't fit. However, there aren't as many Meggisons around as say Smith or Jones so the ones you find just might connect.
