good morning...I have my 5 x g grandparents
Ralph and Mary Oakes in Backford,cheshire in the late 1700`s...thankfully Backford Parish records are online via www.csc.liv.ac/~cprdb ..I have the babtisms of
Elizabeth Oakes 1776
Peter Oakes 1779
Daniel Oakes 1782 my direct ancestor
15 minutes ago I was looking for a possible burial of someone else when I came across a burial for
Hannah Oakes 18 April 1790 fathers name Ralph Oakes...so I looked for a Babtism for Hannah....there`s none there....I suppose that if Hannah died within a couple of days of birth she may never have been Babtised.,but I am also aware that in those days babies were often babtised the next day .....having been to Backford and seen how small a village it is I am pretty sure that Hannah was Ralph and Marys child....there were other Oakes family members in Backford at the time....but to my knowledge only 1 Ralph Oakes..
Has anyone any thoughts or ideas as to whether they think that Hannah IS Ralph and Marys daughter ?.....or am I being a little naive....thanks ....allan
