X00385: John Whittle End-of-Line

Much like my analysis for Ellen Ainsworth, I had a further look at the birth information for John Whittle, my 5x great-grandfather and did an analysis of his birth and birth place, based on the records that I have:

Record	Description	Year	Age	Est. Birth Year	Place of Birth
D01531	1841 Census	1841	39	ca 1802	Lancashire
D01630	1851 Census	1851	50	ca 1801	Blackburn
D01609	1861 Census	1861	59	ca 1803	Blackburn
D01173	Marriage Record	1823	N/A	N/A	Blackburn
D09347	Death Record	1868	64	ca 1804	N/A
D09348	Burial Record	1868	64	ca 1804	N/A

Unfortunately, the marriage record gives no information about his age. The burial record, however, lists his father's name as James Whittle.

From the records that I have, however, it does seem clear that the birthplace is Blackburn, Lancashire and that the birth year is somewhere between 1801 and 1804. We also have a father's name to go on - James Whittle. Looking at the baptism records for Blackburn in those years, however, there does not appear to be any obvious candidates, so this will require some further investigation.
