Abraham Pilling -Baptism - Can't Find
« on: Sunday 21 December 14 21:40 GMT (UK) »
I'm unable to find the Baptism Of Abraham Pilling b abt 1803 Haslingden area - Shown in 1841 Census as living at Gregory Fold Haslingden with wife Martha & Dau Elizabeth & Son William.
I've been looking for years now - Really need to Find his Parents - some Census say born in Haslingden, Newchurch, Rossendale & Bacup. He died aged 69 in 1872.
Would be so grateful if someone could help.

thanks ive looked into cottam & ann & that's a no go im afraid - Abraham was def born 1802-1804
I believe his brother was Isaac Pilling. Strange that Abraham didn't have his children baptised either.

Yes that is the marriage- I don't know who Joseph is - could be a brother or Abraham's father - I just don't know- thanks so much for replying.

Might've had a non-conformist baptism or the parents just couldn't be bothered. It happens.
