I wonder if anyone is visiting Lancashire PR in the near future & could have a Look for a Baptism record for

William Gaskell/Gaskill/Gaskile born 1829 /1832 Ormskirk, Lancashire.

I have his Marriage cert, There is no father listed so assume born out of wedlock.

I would love to know mothers details if available

William Gaskell Married Margaret Rothwell in 1854 Dec Ormskirk.

I have him in all Census.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Marriage Certificate of William Gaskell to Margaret Rothwell 21st Oct 1854,Both William & Margaret were 22 years old listed as Bachelor & Spinster. The Marriage took place at The Parish Church Ormskirk where both lived at the time.
No father for William was named. William Rothwell listed as the father of Margaret. his Occupation a Roper. Witness to the wedding were a Robert Fairclough & Jas Dixon ?,The Curate was Thomas S Pepper.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There being no father listed for William would indicate he was born out of wedlock.
Any help with William or the other 3 children listed in the 1841 would be appreciated

I tried looking him up in thr Lancashire Online Parish Clerk at.

http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Ormskirk/index.html

This has Baptisms at the Church of St Peter & St Paul in The Parish of Ormskirk
Index to the Baptisms recorded in the Register for the years 1820 - 1833

But he is not listed.

There are lots of Gaskells who are

Hi Ed

Thanks for your reply, I too have searched LOPR & not found him . I think the only hope are the original Parish records.

Many thanks judi
