I have read all the other replies and noone has come up with Frederick Wilkins, born in Dursley, who was christened in Tetbury 26 Feb 1826. His parents were John & Betty [nee Shipton]. The children I have listed down from my own transcription of the Tetbury PRs all vary between being born in Dursley and Tetbury. John's occupation was a pargeter. John & Betty married in Tetbury 1802, and there were 6 children that I have listed down, there being a 9 year gap between the 5th child and Fred who was the youngest. There may have been more children, or Fred may have been a few years old when christened but this was not recorded in the PR. Hope this helps.
