Would anyone be able to advise me if I ordered the microfilm from Family Search for a birth in 1824 if it would have the mother's maiden name. It is for the birth of my gggrandmother Ann Cross. Father John and mother Sarah but no maiden name. Thanks if anyone can help.:D

It's very unusual to find maiden names on baptism entries, at least I have never come across any!
There is a transcription of the entry on FreeReg, which is where you may have found your info. I doubt there is any more info available on the original document.

if they were in Barkestone for the baptism, then it might be worthwhile checking there for a marriage between John/Sarah, then, gradually widen the search area.
I know that Barkestone is near to Langar, Plungar, Redmile, Barnstone, Granby, Stathern, Harby, Hose, Eastwell, Eaton and Branston, so these are all places to look and hopefully eliminate them one by one.
do you have Ann at all on any census? or her parents, if so could you please state which/when and where.Julie
They're coming to take me away haha hee hee..........

Just had a look at leicestershirelass Phillimore's Marriages - Barkston 1569 to 1837
http://leicestershireparishrecords.b...n-1569-to.html but can't find them on there, very possibly Sarah was from another parish and married in her parish, it might be worth checking other local parishes to BarkstonFoxyloxy

Also daughter Ann is on the 1841 census where John Cross (new wife Elizabeth) is a publican, Caledonian Arms, apparently since 1828 according to newspaper archives.

Thankyou all for your help. Would Liverpool, Lancashire be close enough for a marriage I have a John Cross marrying Sarah Ball in 1821 where he is a mariner.
Also Ann Cross is in 1841 with father John (new wife Elizabeth) where he is a publican of Caledonian Arms and according to archive newspapers was from 1828.

Barkestone, Leicestershire.
Thankyou all for your help great to have suggestions and someone elses advice. John Cross, although birth in 1841 census was given as 1801. I ordered his death certificate of August 1849 and it gives his DOB as 1794 (also newspaper article said he was 55yrs so I guess that will be right. Have no clues to brothers although a Robert Cross's daughter died at their address. I may have to order that certificate. Only other 'clue?' is that John's first son was John Spencer cross. Could it be that his parents were William Cross and Mary Spencer married Leicester 1769?

John Cross died early Aug. 1849, second wife Elizabeth died Jan. 1849. Ann married George Thomas Harris in Aug. 1849 and she, him and daughter Annie are in the 1851 census, he a victualler at 'The White Lion', St. giles. Also there Ann's stepsister, Sophia, stepbrother Alfred, (John Spencer Cross was deceased) and Eliza Merryweather born 1828 to John and Sarah (I can't find her marriage, but can find the baptism of her son. Thanks again, such a riddle.

Yes I did have that info. I have even found her daughter's marriage, but am absolutely stumped on John and Sarah, their marriage and where they were from. I think maybe I'll try to see if the Lds can order the microfilm just in case I can find a clue somewhere. Thankyou once again, such a wonderful group of people you all are.
