Thanks all.Yes the info that u have all found def sounds like my relative George Fitton. So pleased to feel that im getting somewhere.Like u say there is different birth dates for him, but when I looked him up on the census it said 1801, and thats the date that was given when I asked Elizabeth Sants relative permission to view her tree.He definatly had children called William, Eliza and Hannah because I saw them on the tree that I was viewing and I saw on the census that he lived in Over Lane Winsford. Thanks Argyllgran for suggesting that Charles and Anne could be his parents that im trying to trace.I will follow that lead up.

When you say he was born in 1801, do you mean born or christened - and do you have documentary proof?
On your other thread you said you have his birth cert - but presumably it's a baptism record.

Does it not give any names of parents? What exactly does it say, please?

He wasn't necessarily born in the year he was christened. He may have been born about 1796, as the majority of the censuses seem to suggest, but not christened until 1801:

Just a possibility:

Is this the family in 1851? Over is now part of Winsford.
The YOB for George is slightly out.

BUT his YOB varies:
1871 census says 1796, 1861 says 1816 but an Ancestry member has corrected it to 1796,

Thank you all so much for your efforts trying to trace info about George Fittons parents.I can now confirm that he was born in 1801 and he married Elizabeth Sant from Winsford Cheshire.He then settled in Winsford and they had a lot of children.I live in Winsford as did the rest of my family, so there only seems to be George who had roots in Manchester.I found him on my family tree when I requested to view a tree which belonged to a relative of Elizabeth Sant, Georges wife. Hannah Fitton and William Fitton, also Sarah were the names of just a few of his children.

The only George Fitton that I can see with a connection to Salford born around 1817 is this one but he can't be your ancestor as he died aged one:-

First name(s) George
Last name Fitton
Age 12M
Birth year 1817
Death year 1818
Death date 28 Aug 1818
Burial year 1818
Burial date 31 Aug 1818
Place Salford
Burial place as transcribed Bolton Street, Salford
Denomination New Jerusalemite Swedenborgian
County Lancashire
Country England
The National Archives reference TNA/RG/4/1284
Description LANCASHIRE: Salford, Bolton Street, Jerusalem Temple (New Jerusalemite): Burials

If you could answer some of the questions that you have been asked it will be easier for us to help you.

Which certificate have you got?
Which census have you found him in and where was he at that time?
Is there some confusion about when he was born as you have given 3 different years of birth?
Who did he marry and when?

Kath. x

Sunlight can you please give us the name of your Great Grandfather and where he was born and what year please?

We need to get some idea of how you reached George Fitton c1804/07/11/18 and the only way for us to help is to know what children he has and his wifes name if you know it.

Thank you.

HI,

On your thread on General Chat (before you were redirected to this board as being more appropriate) you said that George was born c1807 in Salford, also on that thread you said he was born c 1804 Salford, now you're saying c1817.

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/general_chat/thread/1364124

Would you be able to give us details from the census(es) you found him in, or, as Maddie has suggested, details of his marriage, children etc, to give helpers something to work with?

hallo sunlight, welcome to the boards.
Do you have his marrriage certificate. That should name his father. Have you found George in any of the census

Hi.I am new to GR and I am trying to trace my great great great grandfathers parents.His name was George Fitton and he was born in Salford round 1818.But his parents wont be on the census because it doesnt go that far back.
