I am trying to trace the father of William Brockley born in Leighton around 1814. The problem is that Census information 1841 thru'1871 list his birth date as either 1814 or 1815. His death certificate ,however,(he died in 1878) listed his age as 66 making his birth year 1812? Consequently ,I'm having difficulty in identifying his father and to date have checked out some local Nantwich Parish church records (eg Coppenhall, Minshull Vernon, Haslington) seeking the birth of a William Brockley in 1814. I have found a record for the birth of a William to a William Brockley (father) and Elizabeth Barrow (that was) who married in 1814. Clearly, I am unsure whether these are indeed the parents of William . Incidentally, the William (1812 or 1814) married a Sarah Latham in 1836. If anyone is happening to be checking the same Parish records or those of neighbouring parishes, I would be very grateful if they could keep an eye out for likely fathers of William. Many thanks.
