I am looking to find an entry for the birth of Henry Barrett around 1806. I beleive he may have married Eliza Howlett in 1833 at Gainsborough. Although there are other Barretts on LDS transcripts I can find no Henry or his father John. If you can help please get in touch. Many thanks Jackie

Hiya, I have the Lincs Parish records that cover Gainsborough but i can't find the people you want sorry. I live in Gainsborough myself and i have the 1841 census for the area if you want any info. Dawn

Thanks Dawn but they had moved to E Riding by 1841 and one was dead! henry was born in gunthorpe. Am hoping it's the one near Gainsborough. Would you know what other parish church they could have used? Kind regards Jackie

Hi Jackie Gunthorpe was in the Parish of Owston Ferry. There are also Gunthorpes in Norfolk and Nottinghamshire. Regards Stan
