Long Preston Parish Record Request

[Miss Jane]

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help me. One of my direct ancestors was Margery Duckett. She married Henry Laytham 10 Jan 1811 at Long Preston, then had four children baptised there between 1811 and 1825. I haven't been able to find baptism for her, plus I also don't know when she died. Henry appears to have been widowed by the time of the 1841 census. I was hoping someone might be able to have access to the parish records for Long Preston because I would love to know the details of the wedding to try and get some idea of where she came from, and also a burial record to hopefully get some details of her age at the time of her death.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jane.

Hi Jane,

On Family Search there is a 'Margrey Duckit' baptised on 31 .1 1790, mother Bettey Duckit, in Conistone in Craven.

There is a 'Conistone' in West Yorks --- I wonder if that might be your Margery?

Hi Ribb,

Thanks so much for your kind offer! I'm happy for you to post what your find on this board, but I'll also send you my email address via a message if that's what you prefer.

Hi Pennines,

I have come across the Margery Duckett from Conistone, but the Duckett family website has her marrying someone other than Henry Latham, so I guess there must have been more than one person with that name in that area at the time.

Regards,

Jane.
