    3. I am searching for the birth of Joseph Holtham c 1766 in Leek. His Staffordshire Militia records say he was born there but I can't find any reference in St Edwards Parish registers. I would love to know who his parents were. Can anyone make any suggestions as to where to look next? He married his first wife Catherine Gibson in 1803 but I don't connect with any children until 1812. Could he have been away with the Militia and his wife was left at home. In total he had 14 children from his two marriages. The second wife was Margaret Hawley.

    3. Garth, I had a similar problem. I found my ancestor in Endon and his parents in Cheddleton. Endon is a chapelry of Leek. It appears that our ancestors might give the general area of their birth as Leek but were baptised in a chapelry of Leek. I used the publication "Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Archive Service, Guide to Sources, No.1- Parish Registers and Bishops' Transcripts" to locate the chapelrys.. If you want a list of chapelrys of Leek please let me know. Hope this helps.
