Explanation:
Stapenhill Parish Registers have not been filmed by the LDS. IGI extractions are from Stapenhill Bishops' Transcripts, which have been filmed, but which have major gaps. Missing years are July 1708 - June 1711; August 1747 - August 1762; Sep 1770 - 1800. Because of these gaps, it is difficult to link back to earlier generations.
Furthermore, Joseph NORTON & his wife Mary, née CAPEWELL became General Baptists and helped establish the religion in their village of Cauldwell. Apart from marriages, few records survive for the following two or three generations.
