George Towle baptism - c1815, Barrow on Humber
« on: Wednesday 23 March 16 14:05 GMT (UK) »
Hi all :)

I'm looking for some information on my ancestor George Towle.

He was born in Barrow on Humber in about 1815.
(The location comes from census data and the year from his tombstone)

He married in Appleby on 10 Jun 1841 and lived there for the rest of his life.
He was a schoolteacher and then rate collector and parish clerk for Appleby.

I'd really like to track down his baptism and any information on his parents/siblings if possible :)

Thanks in advance for any help!

Could this be his baptism in Barrow - Towl spelt the same as his marriage

I don't have the marriage record, just the index https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2D4W-K4P
The date I think came from someone else's research - I've contacted him to ask if can confirm the source.

Yes, I've looked at Lincstothepast and there's some fantastic stuff there :) Must have got a bit confused going through the baptism records, though, I definitely couldn't find George. I was probably looking in the wrong place!
