This post covers locations both in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.
Jacob and Martha Thompson (nee Boothman) had five children, William (1875); Louisa (1877); John (1879) Annie (1881) and another Annie (1884). According to FHL they were all baptised in Epworth (apart from Louisa who can't be found in baptism records). All have civil birth registrations in Crowle. I have trawled through the parish registers for Epworth; Crowle and Thorne for the years of the various births but haven't found any of them! Is there any shortcut or do I just need to open up every parish register in the region to find the baptism record for these children?
Thanks for any suggestions!
