Find Ancestors

I am struggling to find info on my great grandfather, John Smith.I have his birth date and have seen a copy of his death certificate. I have no idea where to start looking for his siblings and parents.19-4-1830 he was living on the parish of New Sleaford and there was a removal order to live in his birth parish of Wilsford.He married Susannah Burt 13-5 -1831 at Sutterton, but that is where I have come to a full stop.Any help appreciated.

Sleaford is in Lincolnshire, Wilsford is on the outskirts of Sleaford towards Grantham.

The above info posted is to help researchers help you........ remember to include County as others will not know and also there is a Sleaford in Boreham Hampshire.

Can you confirm his year of birth amd year of marriage again please?

Hi RustyAli,

I'velooked on the IGI and see nothing for him, so you may need to take a trip to see the Parish Records.

Hi,

Yes you really need the Parish Records. Unfortunately I can't even see the marriage to Ann Trigg on the IGI.

The info that was given to you well may have come from someone veiwing the parish records, have you asked where they got their info from?

Also showing with the same parents;

Thomas 1805
Mary 1809
Charles 1811

I think that the Snaith family then moved to Cranwell as their are baptisms there with the same parents. Here they are in 1851;

I am impressed and disappointed-at least you have ruled that one out, but am no nearer to finding that branch of my tree any further back. Thank you very much for your help. Much appreciated.
