Some of you may remember my search for David Kirkby's baptism about 1730.
I have his parents' marriage in 1727 (William Kirkby and Agnes Addison) St Michael and All Angels Hawkshead, Lancs.
I have his sister's baptism in 1728 (Jane), same church.
I have his marriage to Agatha Sawrey in 1762, same church.
All his children were baptised in the same church.
I have his burial, aged 84, in 1814 in the same church.
I have his will and his grandfather's will of 1743 (Hugh Addison) where David is mentioned.
I cannot find his baptism anywhere, so my question is...
Would he have needed proof of baptism to marry??
and (maybe that should have been questions...)
Any ideas on other places to search??
