Hi Tracey,

The IGI records the baptism of Matthew Breashaw s/o Joseph and Margaret Breashaw at Baldock on 18 Nov 1795.

Regards   ...   Peter

Hi Tracey

I'm afraid that the best that you will be able to do at this date would be to obtain a copy of the baptismal record from HALS.  I doubt that it would give anymore information than what is on the IGI unfortunately.
