Re: Baptisms & Burial

Afternoon Wesley,

Sorry for the delay in replying. My Bravenet mail for some reason went into my Spam folder which I had not checked in weeks.

Your request for an updated list of Churches that we will be transcribing I am afraid is a tall order.

We are all volunteers and are slowly working our way through the Churches.

Have you looked into the availability of purchasing CD's from Sheffield & District Family History Society.
There is of course the possibility as John has suggested that they were baptised in Nottinghamshire.

Re: Baptisms & Burial

The 1862 marriage record says that John was a carter. Maybe this is why he’s hard to find in the 1861 census? He could have been on the road in a different town. If he’d been staying the night in an inn, the innkeeper might have been hazy about John’s age when giving the information to the census enumerator, or they might not even have known his full name.

Re: Baptisms & Burial

will check everything on my Notts cds sometime this week, spare time permitting,

I also think the surname of the baptism will be spelt differently.

The only other possibility I can thimk of is could he have been baptised at Sheffields other cathedral but I am not sure of the date that was built so I could be wrong.

Re: Baptisms & Burial

Hi John,
I have the Notts baptisms, marriages and burials collection on CD.
The children would not have been baptised in Notts, the family only returned briefly. Yes many variations of the spelling of the surname. The possibility I am leaning towards is that they were perhaps baptised in a non conformist church in Sheffield.

Re: Baptisms & Burial

Unless baptised at a church that indexers has mot transcribed yet or at a church that has also not been indexed to appear on a cd etc. Where did john william get married? Could it be possible he was baptised at the church he married at days before he married even if he was say 20 and finally could it be his baptism is in Latin so we have to input Latin spelling on the websites

Re: Baptisms & Burial

Thank you Dave, I have already the burials. It is their baptisms that curiously and frustratingly cannot be traced.
