Hello, I'm relatively new to the search, but have hit a wall when trying to research further back for my 6times great-grandfather Henry Hammersley's birth and parents. Henry Hammersley was born around 1761. He married to Sarah Butcher 17 July 1785 in Bedworth Independent Chapel and they had 4 children, Hannah b1787, Martha b1789, Henry b1796, Diana aka Dinah 1798. This is according to Bedworth parish records and the 1821 Census. Henry was a silk weaver, so I believe his father or parents probably were also. Henry died January 1824 in Bedworth. Does anyone have suggestions where I might start looking for Henry's parents? Any suggestions are very welcome as the possibilities are daunting! Huguenot connection through Spitalfields is a possibility, but that's only a guess, and how would I know how/where to look for that connection? Thanks in advance, Vicki D.
