John Fletcher circa 1815

I'm looking for two generations of John Fletcher. The first married Hannah Ackroyd in 1840 at St. Hilda Danby North Yorkshire.

I have his marriage certificate, now I am looking for the Baptism record. I believe he was born in Farndale North Yorks in 1815 as that is what is shown on the census returns.

His father was also called John Fletcher and the marriage cert I have gives his occupation as a miner

Kind Regards

Richard

Nothing on FMP - they only have records for the West Riding

You may have to visit the records office..............

Thank You Maddie,

I now have 2 possible matches. The other christening in Lastingham on 11 Feb 1815.
A problem I have met before with this family.
I have some Parish Records from Clevland FHS but they do not cover these parishes.

Kind Regards

Richard

Thank You Eringobraugh,

Lots to take in here, not sure how many questions it will answer. It certainly provides a comprehensive picture of another North York's parish, and puts of the need to travel to get information. I now live on the south coast so not impossible but not easy.

Kind Regards

Richard
