William Aspey is my third great grand uncle coming out of the Bean/Wainwright side of the family. I found information that his Christening record was extracted way back when by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. However, I don't have copies of the original. I have found that looking at the original Christening records and searching through the entire film can produce a wealth of additional information. The extraction says that he was Christened on May 29, 1829, In Wigan, Lacashire, England. This is the information you will use to locate him on the film. Who knows, you may even find my direct ancestor, my third great grandmother Margaret Aspey, born 20 Nov. 1833 in the same place!
Project:
1) Order the film number 94033 from the family history library (use
this link) (the films cost $7.50 to rent on a short term basis)
2) Find a Family History Center with a film reader
3) Search the film for the name "Aspey"
4) If your Center has the capability (and let's pray they do), capture each image that could potentially be related to the Aspey family; otherwise just write down all the information
5) Rejoice in your discovery!
