Need help to find BMD in Exton Rutland. I am hitting a blank wall. Trying to find Frederick James Myers supposedly born there in 1821. He came out to Australia in 1850 with his wife and children.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks I have seen that but cannot confirm. I can confirm his death here in Australia. Also his marriage is not correct. He married Catherine Mary Ann Arnell in 1843 Rutland. Marriage cert is on its way from England
Thanks Pat

And his marriage, the cert should give you his father's details

Marriages Dec 1843
Oakham 15 1256a

Spelling difference is not unusual. I think it is close enough to be the one you are looking for.

However, the real problem is that the IGI entry is submitted, not an extract from the Parish Register.

Yes that is the problem. Submitted. No source to look at

Yes I am sure they are part of his family. In fact he named some of his children after his sisters. And so did his son William Thomas Myers who is another mystery that I cannot find.

Also you can see Robert named his son Frederick.,
