Find Ancestors

I wondered if anyone would be willing to do a search for me, I don't have access to look directly at records, and therefore having some difficulty confirming details on this one.

I would like birth information on John Tobias Conway. He could have been born around 1788. I do know for sure he had a daughter - Elizabeth Anne Conway, who was possibly born in West Riding (Huddersfield District) c1813, so he may have come from the same area. (I have her marriage record to James Bean in 1842.)

I have no idea who his wife was., or when and where he married.

I know he died in 1819 and is buried in St Alphege. Greenwich. London and he was a Tailor. He lived in London Street Greenwich.

If anyone can help with his birth details I would be grateful

Thank you. :-)

The only record you are likely to find would be a baptism.

Have you looked at familysearch site?

Hi Jacqueline. No I haven't, I have a look. Thank you.

They haven't, as far as I can see

The use of Latin was the norm for RC church records

I didn't know that, thank you. So Joannes would be John obviously ??

Thank you everyone for your help, I really appreciate it.

?? Elizabeth Daniel baptism. She would have been at least 16 when she married in 1781, but may not have been baptised immediately she was born. It stands out as Michael was the name of one of her and Tobias' children bap 1784 and it is at St Mary's Portsea where he was christened too.

EDIT - possibly not - there is a marriage at ST Mary's in 1789 of an Elizabeth Daniel to a Samuel Bailey

Thank you. I'm surprised the family went from the Hampshire area, to the Yorkshire area and then settled in London. I didn't think people moved around so much, I had been concentrating on the areas I had confirmed they were in which probably didn't help me.

Thank you everyone, for looking for me.

Elizabeth shown on both the 1861 and 1871 as born Greenwich, what makes you think she was born in Huddersfield?

There is nothing in any census records for Elizabeth connecting her with Yorkshire - did you read the info posted?
