The parents of Samuel Farnsworth and Ann Middleton

I seem to have hit a brick wall going back further than these two.  When I first starting researching my tree I found lots of people on Ancestry had trees showing that the parents of Samuel Farnsworth (b 1812, Radford) were Samuel Farnsworth (b.1775 Whittingham Moor, Derbyshire) and a Elizabeth Haynes (b1777 Whittingham Moor).  However they didn’t marry until 1814 in Derby before Samuel’s birth.  I could find no evidence linking these two to Radford in Nottingham where Samuel was born.

A search of Ancestry and the Christening records showed that a Samuel Farnsworth was Christened in Radford on 7^th October 1810.  Aware that ages were not always accurate on early census returns I believed this could be correct.  His parents were a Matthew and Elizabeth Farnsworth of whom I can find no further trace.

Samuel Farnsworth (b 1812) married Ann Middleton on 26 January 1834.  Just a few years before civil registration that would have confirmed details of their parents.
