Hi - i have ancestors back to Henry Kirchin b1816 - married to Sarah Fitchett b1820 date of marriage 23 Dec 1839. Henry's Parents were William Kirchin and Mary ?. I would really like some more detail on William and Mary to kick start my research on this branch of the tree. Any advice / information greatly appreciated.
Thanks :-)

Presumably this birth information:
Henry Kirchen
gender: Male
baptism/christening date: 11 Nov 1815
baptism/christening place: THRUSSINGTON,LEICESTER,ENGLAND
father's name: William Kirchen
mother's name: Mary
indexing project (batch) number: C05584-1
system origin: England-ODM
source film number: 594970

Possibly Mary died, as 2 subsequent births in Thrussington (1820 and 1823) give parents as William and Ann.

Just for ref, because I assumed Stuart already had it:
1841 England Census

On the 1851 census image Emma could be age 18, but it could easily be age 10.

Patchem and Mel

your research is awesome. I do have a contact with a family tree of Kirchin's in the Thrussington area and for many years we have believed that our 2 families are connected but neither could find the one link that joined both branches. I don't know yet and will go through all this detail to match it to either tree, but in any case, this is all fantastic, thanks for your time.

regards

Stu
