Find Ancestors

Desparately trying to find the parents of Joseph Berry. All I know is he married Anne Jones in 1797, Walthamstow. I have all his kids and their descendents so don't need those at all. but without his parents I can't go back any further which is what I'm trying to do.

please please please please, if anyone can help me find his parents I would be so grateful :-)

Hello Helen, where have you already checked for records?

i have looked all over ancestry which is where i found his marriage on the pallots marriage index and the records on genes itself

Try..................................

https://familysearch.org/

BUT......unless you know WHERE he was born, not sure how you can hope to find parents' details

Im currently on that website now. he married and died in walthamstow so have been going under the assumption he was born there too like the rest of the family

Helen, when did he die? Is he on any census that might give an indication as to his birthplace?

Marie

i have his death in walthamstow 1813

Are you sure about the date of his marriage?

Marriage Date:5 Jun 1807

Sometimes Helen you just have to accept that records aren't on-line and start the process of visiting county records offices, etc.

Any indication of age at death?
