Title: Linton Parish Baptismal register lookup, 1835
Post by: Pearce on Saturday 25 March 06 18:47 GMT (UK)
If someone has access to the Linton Parish baptismal register, I would appreciate the following information.  The online index lists Selina Gibson, bastard daughter of Anne, baptized in 1835 aged 21 days, and contains an asterisk indicating that there is more information in the register for this entry.  If anyone has access, could they possibly tell me what that extra information might be?
Many thanks,

Pearce,
I'll try and look this baptism entry up in the Linton transcripts on Wednesday to see whether there are any further juicy details!  Spent a week at the YMCA in Toronto in the autumn of 1968...
Very best wishes,
Keith

Dear Keith,
Thanks so much for your kind offer.  I am rather curious, to say the least.  The new Y is on Grosvenor Street, by the way, should you ever make it back!
Regards,
Pearce

Hi again, Pearce,
The information in the parish transcript of Linton doesn't appear to add anything new to the picture.  It simply states:  19-02-1835: Baptism of Selina GIBSON bastard daughter of Anne, born 29th January.
Hope the anticipation wasn't too great!
very best wishes,
Keith

Dear Keith,
Thanks for trying.  I wonder why they put the asterisk in the online register?  Got my hopes raised.  I guess that line stops there for now.  Again, many thanks.

Regards,
Pearce
