Hi Listers I'm new to the list and looking for help in tracing the parents of my GGG Grandfather Christopher Snowball. This at the moment is my brick wall. Christopher married Sarah Hammond in Middlesmoor Feb 4th 1822 on the Marriage certificate it gave Christopher as coming from the Parish of Masham, but i'm not sure whether he was actually born there, he was born about 1803 as his age was given as 38 at the time of his death on Jan 17th in 1841. Their first child John was born in Masham Jan 12th 1823 a short time after this the family moved down here to Cheshire.Is there anyone researching this family. Would be very grateful for any help.
