    Default baptism look up for Vickers

    I have a Christopher Vickers who married in Croften nr Wakefield West Yorkshie,on the 30/11/1721. He married Ann Grace. I have been trying to find his baptism with no luck. Tried the free sites and also Find My Past but he isnt there. Is there any chance someone could have a look elsewhere for me. They had a son,Andrew in 1727.
    Thankyou,
    Trevor

    Sorry! teek 10,
    Have looked everywhere I can think of but no luck so far. He was a"stranger" to the parish of Crofton when he wed Ann and no info on the marriage details.
    Sometimes a kind vicar gives the father's name!
    Viccars/Vickers in various places in Yorks such as Harewood and Calverley and Pudsey, and Borrowdale so will look again at HW.

    Hi teek10, although Christopher married in Yorkshire he may not have been born there.

    A Christopher Vickers was baptised in Derby (St Alkmund) in 1705, no father named, mother Sara Vickers.

    The only other one within a reasonable timeframe which I can find, was baptised in Kent.

    Will keep looking Teek.
    Was he connected to the Vickers engineers etc who came from Sheffield. They made guns and ships and later aeroplanes?
    Do you know what names he called his children(often they were family names.)?
    I found various Vickers/viccars families all around Yorkshire, Harewood, but few Christophers. In Stanhope Co. Durham in 1648 a Christopher Vickers married an An/n Anderson and there were Thomas , John , Jacob and James marrying in same place around late 16-mid 1700's.
    There was a Christopher Viccars in Borrowdale Cumberland.... and as slizzy has said there were Christopher Vickers in kent.

    Hi Lola. Andrew is the only child i found .He was baptised in Warmfield which is in Wakefield. He married Ann F irth in Warmfield in 1748. They had a son Henry.All the vickers we found seem to be from Wakefield & Dewsbury area. Henry had a daughter Ann in 1780. She had a son ,James in 1802,no father,but he was baptised in Dewsbury.Dont know why she went to dewsbury.
    Thanks again
    Teek

    Got all that Teek. Found them on HW.Andrew married Ann and they had Ann. John, Henry and Betty and probably a few more?
    Can't see who Andrew ,s(bap 27 Dec 1727) mother is. It just gives Christopher as the father.
    Will have a look over next day or so.

    No thanks needed teek... not found anything useful. Collected lots of Vickers of varied spelling but no pattern yet. Still looking!
