HELP!! Desperately seeking the baptism of GEORGE JAUNCEY(or JAUNCY, JOHNSEY). I'm unsure of the year of his birth (the 1841 census shows him as being 20, the 1851 census as 37 and 1861 as 44). When he died in Brocamin, Leigh in 1868 he was aged 54 (making a likely birth date 1814). According to each census he was born in WACTON, Herefordshire, and his marriage to Ann Hyde in Leigh in 1843 shows his father was WILLIAM Jauncey. I've searched the Wacton parish records but can find no trace of either George or William Jauncey. Does anyone have any suggestions of where I can look further? Any assistance gratefully received!

Hello Greg In your search of the Wacton PR's you no doubt noticed the following baptisms :- 23 July 1810. Mary & Sophia, twin daughters of William and Martha JOHNSON, labourer. 1 August 1813. William, son of William and Martha JOHNSON, labourer. 25 February 1816. George, son of Timothy and Martha JOHNSON, labourer. 12 September 1817. Betsy, daughter of William and Martha JOHNSON, labourer. Do you not think there's a chance that the vicar might simply have got one of the names wrong, and that George really IS your man, correct father's name William?
