Hi all, Can someone please advise me. I've just been checking the FamilySearch.org records, and was surprised to come across a burial record on 29 November 1778 at Bidstone (sic), for Hannah SILCOCK, father Henry NEWPORT. This very much looks like the burial of my 5 x gt. Grandmother. Her son Henry SILOCK was baptised at Bidston on the same day, but I can find no matching burial record on the Cheshire Parish Register Database? Familysearch give a Film No. 2103920 and a ref. Item 9 page 15. Can anyone suggest why Cheshire Parish Register Database doesn't include this burial record, or are there further records available to be searched (such as the Film No. given above)? If Henry NEWPORT was indeed the father of Hannah, there are two NEWPORT baptism records at Bidston: 12 April 1749 Ann daughter of Henry, *SAGH 29 May 1752 Hannah daughter of Henry and Ann *SAGM It would suggest that Hannah was very young indeed at marriage on 13 January 1761, even if she hadn't been baptised as a new baby? Kind regards, Yvonne

Hi Yvonne, Did the IGI say what the source was? It may just not have been transcribed onto the Cheshire database yet. Maybe someone with transcripts of parish regs could look it up for you? Have you tried FreeReg?

Hi Von Your ancestor's burial is of course more likely to be this one, which IS in the CPRdb :- Bidston St Oswald 27 September 1795 Hannah, wife of Robert SINCOK of Greasby, aged 61 Placing her birth year 1733/4?
