Does anyone have more information on :
B – Warcop where William Banting and Agnes Fisher married in 1793 ?
When/Where was William Banting born? I found this record on FamilySearch – Is this him?:
Name:William Banting Gender:Male Baptism/Christening Date:31 Jan 1769 Baptism/Christening Place:ST. JAMES, WESTMINSTER, MIDDLESEX, ENGLAND Birth Date:31 Dec 1768
Hi Mike I think it’s about time we had a long hard look at the early incidences of the name Banting in the UK. It will be hard to say just how these groups are connected, we have so many Johns and Williams flying around!
So next week I will begin to map what I can find. I am building out some ‘clean’ GED’s which I hope by the end of next week will be available to download. I have some thoughts about the possibility he comes from Hampshire. Is anyone in your group thinking about the DNA test? Will do a post on Warcop as well see if we can drum up some interest. Lots of areas to explore yet…
