Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 2,377 Send Message	Thank you Prickles for John Oddy but I think its a bit late for my John, whose age on various census puts his birth at 1801. This looks the most likely death for him :- Deaths Sep 1884 Oddy John 85 Bradford, Y. 9b 13 but I can't see anything very convincing for Rebecca

	Just because the baptism took place in 1805......doesn't necessarily mean he was born in 1805.

We could do with an 1811 census - lol There are quite a lot of Oddys about and possibly Heatons :- Peter Heaton International Genealogical Index (IGI) christening: 8 March 1797 Bradford Parish, Bradford, York, England • father: Peter Heaton • mother: Nanny Rebecca Heaton *********** International Genealogical Index (IGI) christening: 5 December 1798 Bradford, York, England • father: Peter Heaton Peter Heaton International Genealogical Index (IGI) birth: 1800 Bradford, York, England • father: Peter Heaton William Heaton International Genealogical Index (IGI) christening: 25 November 1803 Bradford, York, England • father: Peter Heaton John Heaton International Genealogical Index (IGI) christening: 29 June 1803 Bradford, York, England • father: Peter Heaton Samuel Heaton International Genealogical Index (IGI) christening: 14 December 1806 Bradford, York, England • father: Peter Heaton Abraham Heaton International Genealogical Index (IGI) christening: 6 March 1808 Bradford, York, England • father: Peter Heaton I quite fancy having Nanny as an ancestor .....
