To the many fellow listers who have answered, I am doing a "total" reply as each has brought up different answers/suggestions and the following is a summary of what has been found/happening. It seems my Henry PAGE was born on 6th April 1786 and baptised on 28th December 1792 (along with three brothers Richard, Robert and George) at Scots Lane Independent, Salisbury, Wiltshire. This information is via the IGI and Batch No C077951. Hopefully one day I will be able to get a copy of the originals. As pointed out Milford is a tything to Laverstock near Salisbury - boy oh boy it is learning all the time. I gather "tything" is where a percentage is paid to the church. Now I could assume this would be to the Church of England, whereas it would appear that the above family was christened at a Non-Conformist church (another item to be checked). When my Henry moved to the IOW is obviously a big question but he did marry at Norton, Freshwater in 1812 to Sally ROBBINS. Their son Henry (who marries a Matilda BROWN) is listed in 1851 Census and not to be confused with Dad Henry. At a guess Henry Snr is away at sea with both the 1841 and 1851 Census but his wife Sally does appear in the 1841 Census at Freshwater. Unfortunately Henry Snr's birth is listed in the LDS site as 6th April 1788 (being submitted information) this being what was given to my cousin (who put up the information) by a researcher - close to the birth date in 1786 but the year incorrect and the cousin will not change this or other information which is incorrect. My brick wall has crumbled in regards to Henry Snr's birth and now I have to try and find out about his parents - no luck with a marriage on the IGI so the next wall comes up (and I have no idea re Wiltshire) Many thanks again to all who have helped chip away and knock a couple of bricks off the brick wall - what would family history/genealogy be without a challenge.
