Baptism look up in Preston
« on: Sunday 04 November 12 18:39 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
Can anyone help me find a baptism record for Margaret Melling b. abt 1821, on the marraige record her Father's name is Joseph. On census records it states she was born in Preston, Lancashire. She did live there all her life too. I've found other Margaret Melling's but with different Parents.
Hoping fresh eyes can help!
Thank you

Hi,
I'm waiting on the certificate, I did a quick search on family search where it listed the Father of Joseph. Because her brith was before the registration I'd have to look at Parish records hence the baptism search of possible. So far i've not found one for her. Hopefully the certificate will turn up soon to add to the info.

I don't know who Joseph married/Margaret's Mother. Unfortunately Melling is a popular name in Preston :/
Thanks for your help!

The Certificate states her Father as Late Joseph Melling Occupation Shoe maker, can I take this info any further somehow?
