Can you read this? plus more ...

I have found a baptism for a Rachell Hogg that is in the century that my 4g grandmother was born (the first I remember seeing).

It is very informative in that it lists the father and mother and their fathers and where they are from, although I can't read where the father is from.

Can someone please have a look and tell me where he is from?

FMP Rachell Hogg

Rachel's father is Jno. Is that John or Jonathan?

Last question - if anyone can find what happens to this Rachell I would appreciate it. Ideally she will marry Stephen Dawson but it is unlikely.

Jno = John. It says "of Sprusety" which must be Spruisty. Here is some info about Spruisty:

Putting it here just in case -

Rachell above has a sister Mary baptised 1790. Mother Sarah Hobson

Rachell may have a brother Richard baptised 1788. Mother Sarah.

There is a Mary Hogg who marries at Fewston, where Rachel married, which could be the Mary in this post.

Thanks Kate.

This marriage sounds familiar, but I can't see it on other threads on here?

Name: Rachael Hogg
Gender: Female
Marriage Date: 17 Jul 1815
Marriage Place: Fewston,York,England
Spouse: Stephen Dawson

Oh, is Rachel (ie the one who married Stephen who may or may not be the one baptised in post #1 here) the same one you said this about:

Rachel disappeared and I have not been able to work out what happened to her.

That was on a thread about the 1939 Register though, so I'm a bit confused as to why we were back in the early 1800s on that thread (if we were)!! lol

I'm confused as to why you said it's unlikely there is a marriage between Rachel and Stephen (which is why I posted that marriage) but then you said Rachel married at Fewston (I didn't take in you had said that the first time I read the thread) so you already knew about the marriage

[Kit]

lol Merry, I had the same confusion. Yes the marriage is correct and how we got to the 1800s on a 1939 register thread is a bit strange.

Rachel ended up marrying a James Walmsley after Stephen died but I've never known when she was born.

From the marriage I guestimated Rachel was born 1796 or earlier. Her death indicates she was born 1789, so this baptism fits in the middle.

[Kit]

Sorry I meant that this Rachell married my Stephen Dawson. I'm not convinced she is my Rachel, although I am now thinking maybe.

There are deaths for John and Sarah Hogg in West End which is where Stephen Dawson's parents lived at one point.

Edit - this didn't make sense either. My 4g grandmother Rachel married Stephen Dawson. I'm not convinced the Rachell baptised in post 1 is my Rachel.

So you are looking for an alternative ending for this Rachel, in order to exclude her?
