Finding Birth/Baptism Record for Benjamin Webster

Unknown Report 15 Apr 2014 19:14

I am wondering if there is anyone who might know the location or county where my 3X greatgrandfather Benjamin Webster was born. He married Mary Hardy in 1808 in Gautby, Lincolnshire, England. He is in the 1841 census but is not from Lincolnshire county. The All Saints Church in Gautby has members of the Hardy family, but the only Websters are Benjamin's children. His death record says he was born about 1783.
Is it possible that someone may know more about this person or where his original family came from?
Thanks, Marti Trovillion

but AnnCardiff is that birth information not just taken from an online family tree?

and we all know what some of them are ... :-D

the 1841 census image actually says 'N' for NOT born in county

(for his son Benjamin it says 'Y')

it seems that someone making a tree has just made a big unsupported assumption

You remember me. :)
