Francis Bartley, father of Thomas Bartley born in Liverpool in 1810

[Bartley Roy]

Hello out there. I've been able to trace back my Bartley family line to 1810 and the birth of Thomas Bartley, whose father's first name was Francis. I've been unable to go back any further and was wondering if anyone else shared the same ancestor/s.

Thanks for that. I do have the information regarding Thomas’s birth certificate. What is a mystery though is that I can find no other trace of Francis Bartley; no, birth certificate, marriage certificate or death certificate, just the fact that he had a son.  I have a hunch that Francis was perhaps born in Ulster, but can find no trace there either. Finding Francis is thus my aim!

Thanks for that. I do have the information regarding Thomas’s birth certificate.

I posted the birth as it gave more information on Thomas's parents including Francis's occupation and their abode at the time of the baptism. 

Do you have a marriage for them 

[Bartley Roy]

No birth certificate, marriage certificate or death certificate, just the fact that he had a son and lived at Cook St. with his wife and was a coachman. I have a hunch that Francis was perhaps born in Ulster, but can find no trace of him there either.

Did you see that there is a burial at St John's on 29 February 1816 for a Francis Barckley, aged 2, son of Francis & Mary, abode Crosshall Street, occupation coachman?

[Bartley Roy]

No, I didn't. Thanks. 'Bartley', like many names, could be misspelt. If you find anything about where he was born or died, I'd be grateful.

Following on from ShaunJ, I changed the search and left off the surname, have found this for a Francis
Barkley in case it leads somewhere
