Hi,

I wonder if some one who has worldwide access to records could help me find a birth for my grt grt grandmother Elizabet Mary Botham. She was born in Barbados, West Indies around 1813 - I dont know who her parents were - she is a mystery.As she later gave her son Hinchcliffe as a middle name I wondered if this could have been her mothers maiden name or possibly her fathers mothers name.

Also I need some one with good eyes who could work out what the fathers occupation is on John Hinchcliffe William's baptism record please - In London England Births, Marriage and Burials 1538-1812 records for John Hinchcliffe Williams. Baptised 16th May 1811 at St Giles, Cripplegate - parents John and Elizabeth Mary Williams. I cant make out what Johns occupation is so if anyone can have a go I would be very grateful. It looks like Paper Hainer????

Thanks alot - Rosie

An Ancestry tree has parents James Botham and 'unknown' Alexander? They have her spouse as John Hinchcliffe Williams.

Ann - can you see what his father's occupation is? Paper Stainer is possible - what do you think?
