Title: amelia harding Baddiley and wrenbury parish registers
Post by: randh on Wednesday 02 July 08 15:15 BST (UK)

I live a long way from Chester and hoped that somebody could look up the baptism of Amelia Harding born c1826. The parish registers of Bunbury, Acton and Nantwich have been checked but no luck. The only clue I have is one census record that says she was born in Acton. The parishes of Wrenbury and Baddiley are near by and so I thought they might be worth a look. Many thanks in anticipation, RAL.

Thanks Celia, I am aware of that entry on IGI. A. Swettenham is a long way from where she says she was born eg Acton on one census and Bunbury on others, B,on her marriage certificate there is no mention of her father which leads me to assume she was illegitimate and C the earliest reference I have of her is as a female servant in Haughton near Bunbury. I think in the 1891 census her mother Sarah is living with them. Its all very confusing, I will just have to save the petrol money and make my way to Chester records office. Regards Richard.
