there are an awful lot of Whalley's in Lancashire - some going back to 1085!! but can't find yours - have you looked on the Mormon LDS site - which is free - you might find them where I failed

bloody hell cynthia that was quick i did come up with betty page but wasnt sure thats how i got the william yes i have the jane marshall, how do i know if its betty page or sarah crossley?

i think i love you lol regards neil.

Cynthia

Cynthia Report 20 Jan 2009 22:27

By working out the dates I would think. If you go on familySearch.org you can look all this up for yourself.
There are some Whalleys for the 1600s but it's better to take one step at a time and make sure you get it right.
I will go and find the post which helps you get through that site quite quickly and post it on here. Back in a tic.

copy this and you will find lots of useful info.

An extra tip which is somewhere on the above is, when you are faced with a whole lot of names, click on ctrl and f and a little search box comes up. Type in the name of the place you are looking for and it saves you going cross eyed.

Just to butt in - the Betty Page marriage was 1814 and the Sarah Crossley marriage was 1769.

Thomas Whalley + Sarah Crossley, who married in 1769, could be the grandparents of the Thomas Whalley born 1795, if his father William Whalley was their son, and Thomas Whalley born 1795 could be the one who married Betty Page 1814. But that's a few ifs, and a lot of Whalleys in the area. ;)

EvieBeavie

are you a detective ? i wouldnt of thought of that for another 2 years no wonder im crap at this family tree lark

EvieBeavie

EvieBeavie Report 20 Jan 2009 22:54

There are those who have said I should be - a detective. It has also been whispered that I could make a career of blackmailing, with such an ability to ferret out facts ...

But that one was kinda obvious. ;)

Remember -- those are a lot of ifs! I'm quite fond of wild theories, but bare facts need some interconnecting in order to form a theory. ;)

Have a look here, and keep checking back for updated transcriptions:

http://www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/Search.pl

There are currently 58 WHALLEY baptisms listed in Lancashire (try other spellings too). The format is a little simpler than the IGI (much will overlap), and the records may give more info - but keep in mind, mother's name is unlikely to be included in early parish baptism records.
