Find Ancestors

Hi really in need of help from anyone who has access to library/parish record information on the birth of my Ancestor-Henry Whitby Jepson. Born c1821 in Wellingborough Northamptonshire. On Henry's marriage record of 1844 in Daventry father was noted as John Jepson. I have been unable to find any info on Henry's parents other than possible siblings to Henry-Jane Jepson 1815 born in Wellingborough and poss Richard Parsonage Jepson born c1812 in Wellingborough.
Have alot of info on Jepsons from Henry up to the present but can't move back any furthur without help.
I live along way from Northamptonshire so a trip there is impossible at mo.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you not seen Stephs offer lower down this page?

Oh, thought it was a bit of a coincidence. have you tried Northampton family history society?

Yes have been on their site they offer no research help and suggest the record office at Northamptonshire. Record research their quite pricey and you know whats its like when you have alot of people to research you do try to get information free where poss.Only started 3 months ago on my tree and lots to do.

(Harry 1848 towcester = his son?)

Hi Minnie Thanks for reply. Have tried Hugh Wallis and also have tried LDS church and saw the record you have on your thread. Do they give out information on who the submitter is? how would i find this out? Also he did have son Harry. The family settled in Towcester and Henry Whitby Jepson and his son John Jepson were the bank managers there.

Have you googled for the name and area? Its an unusual name and you may be lucky if someone else has prepared a tree?

Has this lot on rootsweb anything to do with you?

hi Heather,thanks for info have seen the rootsweb site and yes they are my ancestors. Past few weeks have been living,breathing and dreaming John Jepson! its one of those real stumbling blocks you cant leave alone. Henry Whitby Jepson and his children and upto 1900's has been easy to find. The trouble i'm having is John Jepson he's listed as father on few sites and is on marriage record of his son Henry's wedding but theirs no other records on his to be found-no census 1841/51 that fits. He was listed as being a Bankers Clerk in wedding record of Henry.
Its a really hard one this.Also other night i saw on rootsweb Jepson board a possible brother of Henry's Richard Parsonage Jepson who had a father named John and was born 1812 in Wellingborough, lots of records on him once he moved to Australia 1853 but nothing before apart from a stray wedding record i found on northants strays!Tried emailing people on board and guess what emails have changed!Appreciate your help.

Michelle

Do have a good google, surprising what you may find.

Will do heather and thanks alot.
