Erm, no idea

You need to register, too.

Good point. Is it a paying site? If so I will probably wait until I can get to the archives

[kiterunner]

It's free, and you don't have to register to view images, only if you want to post up transcriptions.

This link should take you to the image with William and Faith's marriage on it:

The baptism is about two-thirds of the way down the right-hand page. Nothing to suggest she was 1 year old when baptised.

Thanks Kate, I can see those fine, I just can't work out where I am going wrong when I try to search. I managed to view a directory ok, but not the PRs

That info was on a public tree on Ancestry, which looks as if it has been taken from FreeReg which states that Faith was baptised 25 Jan 1744/45. The tree holder has intepreted that as meaning she was 1.

Managed to pop into the local studies centre in NE Lincs today. I checked the monumental inscriptions for Laceby and could find nothing for Faith and her family. However, most of the stones at St Margaret's have been removed.

As regards Stanford School, the trustees set out to find a 'discreet woman' who would teach small boys and girls in her own home. When the boys could read the Psalter correctly and the girls could write and 'cast accounts', they were to proceed to the school room.

Mr A Hainton was the first master and Frances Plumpton was the first mistress. Frances Plumpton held her position until 1752, giving 22 years service. Mr Hainton must have liked his job - he remained master for 50 years.

Two of the 16 children under the Dame in 1737 were: Francis Appleyard and Rebecca Appleyard.
