Hello MaureeninNY,

You put me to shame by finding out more information from the other side of the Atlantic than I tracked down here in England!

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Jonesey,

Baptism record fine. Am just looking for evidence of birth date/year.

Lynn,

When you say "Birth Records" were you expecting to find an entry in the birth index?

Civil registration of births did not begin in England or Wales until the September quarter of 1837, it did not become compulsory until 1874. Prior to 1837 there were no birth records. If the child was baptised (Not all were) then the best record you are likely to find is their baptism record.

As a matter of interest Ann, where did you find this information?

Thank you again Ann. The marriage details seem absolutely right in terms of date and name of spouse.

Thank you very much Ann. Don't know the names of the parents of Thomas, so could be either! Am suspecting John Hope as there are other Johns further down the family tree but no Henry's. That's as logical as I get!!

I am unable to find birth records for Thomas Hope c1799 and his son Richard Hope c1820 born in Leigh Lancashire. Thomas married Jane ? and Richard married Ann Gee in 1845. I have all census information regarding Richard except for 1841 so can't figure out why there appears to be no record of their births. Can anyone please advise?
