im having a dizzy moment! can anyone help?? i can get no further back than SAMUEL WARNER born somewhere between 1780 and 1790's. in bedfordshire. i cant find his birth or who his parents are anywhere. i DO know he married fanny boughton in 1813 and i know all his kids.ive searched IGI back to front, and theres a few possible samuel warners but how do i know if ive found the same one,if i dont know his date or place of birth!!??? does this make sense.....

If you have his marriage date, does that give his place of birth - ie does it say OTP (of this Parish)? or possibly 'of ..........'. If you know the place of the marriage, you could try the parish records to see if there is any extra info given. PS I think it is Ruth who is willing to do Northampton look ups and very kind she is too!

thanx heather, on IGI it said he married in woburn, beds. he also had all his kids there-i can only presume he was born there, but he could have come from anywhere! there was no other info. i have tried parish records but had no luck. P.S would woburn come under northampton then???
