Could someone offer some direction for me in Canada to research ancestors in North Yorkshire UK? After searching Ancestry, Findmypast, Family Search, records online, forums, etc. I have paid through the council archives to search for me and they found nothing of which I already hadn't found online myself.
My relative Valentine Forster (also listed as Volentine Fostor) lived between 1650??-1752. He died in 1752 Barton St Cuthbert North Yorkshire UK. His spouse is listed as Elizabeth, no maiden name.
My goal is to link Valentine to the Forster's of Blancheland and Bamburgh which I know we are linked via DNA.
Am I missing an angle or way to send/search for records or research that I have missed? Any direction tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!!!!
This is what I have:

Hi Barbie and welcome to the B-G Forums.
I'm posting these records in the name of Valentine Foster though they don't seem to be for your ancestor as you say your Valentine was a shoemaker whereas this one was a tailor. However, I do wonder if they are related and thought it worth posting them for you to ponder over and maybe put to one side for future reference.

Hi Alma
Thank you so much! I have seen these records and I think they are another family. I can not link them to my Valentine. The 1694 birth would work but can't link it definitely to my Valentine who resided in Barton. I mean I guess he could have changed his apprenticeship to shoemaker from tailor. Also the name Elizabeth is right but the dates impossible for his children born in the 1700's.York is close by but still not quite a fit.
