Hi! Would you have any information on who the parents were for Richard Waddingham or his siblings names?? I am trying to confirm that is connected to our family tree.
Thanks for your time.

William Waddingham & Mary Fletcher. The Wm W who was born/bap 6/9/1785 was born at Skeffling Yorkshire and he died nearby in 1866 and his wife was Lucy and she died the year after.
Skeffling is not close to North Cave.
So that was not the man who went to Canada.
Do you have the migration record for the Waddingham family?
They had to have gone after 1841
My interest is in Richard born 1826 at North Cave, 6th child of Wm & Mary.
I think the correct William was born at Hotham, in North Cave, in 1787.
