Hi there,
could anyone tell me the names of the parents of James Wootton born approx 1777 Staffordshire (Bloxwich area I think). His wife's name was Mary and I believe they were married approx 1802


Many Thanks
Simon

Hi there,
many thanks for your replies - do you think that James Wootton was from Cannock or Bloxwich ? certain IGI state Bloxwich. I suppose that Cannock is very near to Bloxwich.
How would I get concrete proof ? Any suggestions ?

I have found on the IGI the following James Wootton's :

James Wootton - 1777 of Bloxwich - Spouse : Mary Wootton
James Wootton - 1781 of Pelsall - Father: William Wootton / Mother: Mary Hickmans
JAMES WOOTTON - 1780 of Cannock - Father: MATTHEW / Mother: MARY

Not sure but The last one listed above is in BLOCK CAPITALS... Does this mean anything as the other two are not.

What does EXTRACTED mean ? Is this a term for an Official document ?


Regards
Simon

Hi Simon Extracted means it been taken from the church records, submitted someone as sent it in, Extracted are alot more reliable.

Hi Jimmy,

thanks for explaining that for me. . . Wasn't sure.

Do you get your info from the IGI indexes or other sources ?

I was considering joining the BMSGH site, is it worth doing so ?

As I mentioned in an earlier thread I have found a few James Wootton's.. Base on my tree going back to the Bloxwich area am I assuming wrong that my James Wootton was from Pelsall or Bloxwich ? Its a tricky game this geneology lark ! Quite frustrating.

Regards
Simon

Hi Simon,
I do use the IGI, but also any other site I come accross, when you get back to 1800 it is a bit hit and miss, thats when you need to actually go and look at the church records its not all on the IGI. I also use this one,

Hi all I looked up the Marriage of James Wootten, bach otp and Mary Collier spinster of the Parish, Married by Banns they both signed, Witnesses were John Smith and a James (Wilks/Mills/Hills.) HTH from linell.

[nocky1972]

Hello Linell,
many thanks for checking this out... I will add this to my tree. Its a shame their witnesses were not Wootton's or Colliers, may have has more clues to other relatives. Will do a search for the witnesses from the Bloxwich area to see if they lived nearby

Many thanks

Simon
