I have traced my family back to 1772 but there is a missing link. My family are connected to T&W Lees Hatworks (no longer there of course). The hat works was set up by two brother Thomas & William. William later became the Mayor of Stockport. The two brothers came from a large family. My great great grandfather is the nephew of these two brothers and my cousin and I are almost sure that their sister Martha gave birth to Alfred when she was only 13. Unfortunately, the birth is definitely not registered and I am having trouble finding his christening can any one help me? He was born in 1855.

It might help if you told us where this Stockport is. There are at least three in the United States.
