King family in Melling in Lonsdale

[sue smith]

Hello, just had a breakthrough on one of my brickwalls and have got back another generation. Wondering if someone would be kind enough to do a look up for me if they have access to the registers for Melling - the period I need is not on the IGI.

Am looking for the following:

Marriage of William King to Ann (surname unknown). Known children baptised in 1772 & 1774 (Henry & John) so presumably prior to that date.

Any King children baptised c1793 - 1806 with the father Henry King and the mother Ann (formerly Skirrow). Henry and Ann married in 1793 and I have one certain child James in 1804 and one potential William born abt 1806 (from 1841 cenus).

This last one is a big look up I know, so if too much just confirmation of William would be great. Appreciate any help at all, really pleased to get back another generation!

Thank you for doing so much on this Radcliffe! I do have the copy of the parish entry and the licence for Henry & Ann's marriage and he is listed as a husbandman, sorry I should have thought about putting up all I had. I also have the parish record copy for James' birth and again Henry is a husbandman.

You have found a lot more for me to look at and figure out! Henry as far as I know stayed in the parish and was an Agricultural Labourer. I have him on the 1841 as a pauper (Ag Lab) and he dies in Caton Workhouse.  His grandson and great grandsons do become licencees though so it is a possibility?

Thank you so much again!
