I abandoned my search for my Pank line,some years ago,when I hit a brickwall.I had traced them in the St.Giles in the fields parish, to parents,Henry and Mary,in the early 1800s.I searched the actual parish records at the church (they had not been deposited),but could not find Henry and Mary's marriage. The I.G.I. showed a marriage in Portsea in 1799 of a Henry to Mary Lee.I visited the Winchester R.O. and since I could find no subsequent baptisms for this couple,thought that they may have moved to London after the marriage and perhaps be "mine". Can any lister, please advise how I may proceed.I have access to Ancestry at my local library. Regards,Charles
