I have found baptisms for the family I am interested in as I look at the parish records on the IGI for this location.
Michael Kempshall and Sarah Stennet had George, Michael and Alfred baptised here between 1827 and 1834; then they moved to Canada.

I am now trying to determine the parents of Michael, who according to the Canadian census was born about 1801. I see that there are two Kempshall baptisms in this parish in batch C030332 [roughly 1660-1812] ... George in 1800 and Robert in 1809; but no Michael, here or anywhere else in that time period. George and Robert were the sons of George and Jane; Michael named his first son George; any significance to that?

Where else might I look for Michael?

Thanks, Ruth in Canada

If you searcg your IGI batch C030332 for children of George and Jane (no surname) bap 1805 +/-10, you will find 6 baptisms, 4 of them HEMPSHAL - including Michael 1804.

Thank you! I must have been really tired as I was working on that yesterday! I do appreciate your help with this.
