In the 1851 Melksham, Wilts census, my 2xgreatfather, George WAIGHT, is listed as born in Southhampton with an age that would make him born about 1802. Aside from the fact that his residence is listed as Tavistock, Devon, in his marriage record to Elizabeth SIDNELL in Melksham on 28 July 1828 and the fact that their first child, Eliza Jane, was christened at Southhampton All Saints Church on 08 Nov 1829, I have no information on his earlier years. With no more tnan this to go on, how can I proceed to locate George's parents and siblings? Any help greatly appreciated. Bill NYC

Hi Bill Southampton Reference Library have a set of typed and indexed transcripts of the Southampton Parish Registers. I\m sure if you asked them nicely they'd look in these for you, for the baptism of George Waight around 1802.
