Hello Gene ology, Would you know if the John Finch you're interested in had a son, William, born in 1837 in Wigan? I have a William who has John as a father although there are one or two John's in the time frame and the geographical area and I'd like to be sure of the correct John Finch. 'My' William married an Elizabeth Gaskill (Daughter of William and Helen Hoighton) in June 1859 at Saint George's Church. Look forward to hearing from you. Fr. Stuart -----Original Message----- From: eng-lan-wigan-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-lan-wigan-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of gene ology Sent: 04 June 2007 14:22 To: ENG-LAN-WIGAN@rootsweb.com Subject: [WIGAN] finch & linked Names Hi Beth Thank you for replying I haven't done as well as you I have only got back to John Finch- about 1807 Wigan he is my the 2nd great grandfather This is my brick wall he married Jane Baldwin oct 1831 according to the 1841 census he lived Buckley House Queen's ward & in 1851 Buckley House Starr INN ropemaker & Publican. his second marriage to Susannah Blackledge nee BAXENDALE gives his father as John a rope maker not been able to find his Christening so I am stuck on his mother's name .
