Thread: James Good Winchester, b abt 1801

Do you know what parish he originated from? have you checked the IGI or the family search beta sie? if you do know the parish you can search with the Hugh Wallis site [taken from the IGI. If you use the family search[LDS] site you can insert the Father's full name, the Mother's first name, click on births, then put in th area. It will bring up any records on the IGI of children that were born to Parents of those names. There may be quite a few though. You can look for Winchester.
A word of warning - it is always best to check the original parish records which can be found at Archives/county records office. The IGI is an index. It was never meant as an aid for family history. It is a very good site that we can use to see if there are any ancestors on it ,but lt can be misleading. and therefore is only as good as the people who transcribed it.If it is an extracted record it will perhaps be reliable - though could still have mistakes. If it is member submitted and reads about or approx for dates of birth it is best to take it with a very large pinch of salt .It could be reliable or it could be complete fabrication. If at all possible check the origina.ls
