Sorry, Shona, I'm still not with you - are you saying that the William who married Esther was still alive on the 1851 census, as well as the William who this thread is about?

I just have to ask if it's possible that William Callen Ellen's father could have been born in Glasgow ? And not in Ashton in Makerfield as there are a few William Callen s born there ? I definetly had a aunt or a relative in that area . That's why I think that William could have been Scottish .?

Anything is possible, though he did say born in Lancs in 1841 and born in Ashton Lancs in 1851.

Whilst in theory it's possible he was born outside of Lancashire, I don't understand your reasoning for wondering about this - you say you had an aunt or relative in Glasgow, but what does that have to do with a man born in the 18th Century?

So you are looking for the baptism of this bride:

Marriage: 19 Jul 1785 All Saints, Wigan, Lancashire, England
William Calland - Haigh
Ann Lea - Haigh
Witness: Peter Grimshaw; Gerd. Bancks
Married by Banns by: Page Godfrey
Notes: [Bride signed Ann Ley]
Source: LDS Film 1885689

I don't see why she would be born about 1775/6 because that would make her about 10 when she married! Perhaps you have a burial for her with her age recorded? If you do, are you sure it's the right Ann Calland?

So we are looking for a baptism for an Ann Lea, parents Thomas and Betty (from post #13).

I would expect the issue to be that there are far too many possible baptisms rather than only one in the wrong county and at a date that doesn't work!

I've only looked at Lancs OPC (where I'm assuming you will have looked already) and did ten years either way of 1760. That gave me five matches, so you would need to use your local knowledge to decide if any are not likely geographically and also try and establish what happened to each of these Anns to see if you can rule any out (eg if any of them died young etc).

Baptism: ? Jan 1749/50 St Laurence, Chorley, Lancashire, England
Ann Leigh - Daughter of Thomas Leigh

No. Why would I be interested in that? It's far too late and in an unrealistic part of the country.

EDIT see post 33 re date.

What was he doing in 1766? Not being baptised I hope! Not if his daughter was married in 1785!

Why would you be looking in Newcastle under Lyme when there are dozens and dozens of Thomas Lea entries in Lancashire?

She doesn't need to have been born far away though, does she?

I think people need to grasp the fact that sometime it can be very difficult to work out the correct line for their tree, especially with common names and ordinary occupations in a given area. It can take years and years to get to the bottom of the data sometimes. Maybe even decades. Very often you never will.

Oh and BTW, the Ann Lea, dau of Thomas and Betty Lea who was bap in Calne in 1765 was buried in 1774 in Calne.
