    Default Cramp-Giles birth records in 1700's

    I am looking for the birth record of two ancestors I have their marriage on June 17, 1811 at At Andrew's in Prestwold Leic. The groom is Joseph Cramp, his parish is Quorndon and Ann Giles, her parish is Burton or Barrow-Upon-Soar. I am unsure of how best to apply for and/or find their birth records. Any ideas would be wonderful. Thanks, M. Anderson

    Have you tried Phillimore? Parish Chest probably sell it.

    Hello, did you obtain the marriage details from https://www.familysearch.org? The website may have information on the relevant baptisms.

    In this area of Leicestershire people wandered around the parishes a bit. Apparent long term residence in one parish did not stop them from moving into another claiming to be ‘of this parish’ when it suited. Prestwold or Hoton churches were used by Burton (on the Wolds) folk. If you get to visit, I can thoroughly recommend a pub in the village.

    My starting point for records, because they are free online, is:

    www.
    leicestershirevillages.com/barrowuponsoar/availablechurchandbu.html

    There is a possible for Joseph’s parents’ marriage at Holy Trinity: John Cramp, labourer to Elizabeth Porter on 1 November 1784, both of this parish (i.e Barrow-upon-Soar). Searching the various baptismal, marriage and burial records there are other Cramps and a couple of Giles mentioned. Annoyingly, the online baptisms do not start until 1849. However, marriages may provide clues re parentage and possible birth years and subsequent baptisms.

    Then there’s our very own Guy with these Quorndon marriages:

    By the way, do not confuse Quorn(don) with Quarndon in Derbyshire.

    Sorry Pam, didn't realise Parish Chest had the Prestwold registers. The price is a bargain when one takes into account the cost of petrol (and parking) to get to the LRO at Wigston and that's just from Derbyshire let alone the US!

    Great information. I will look into all these sources right away. And thanks for the tips. Being in the US, some of the city, county variations are not apparent to me and I appreciate the guidance. Thanks so much, Marie
