Hello Barbara  ;)

I'm currently doing look-ups at the London Metropolitan Archives where these registers have been deposited.

However, I haven't done any look-ups over the summer holidays and now my look-up list for September is full.

If you are happy to wait, I'll keep this on file and get to it as quickly as I can, If not, the LMA does research but charges from £40.

Hi Barbara

These baptisms are entered in an old style handwritten register, there are no pre-printed boxes to be filled in

Sept 1802
26th Sophia Ann d of William & Ann Messer of Wilson Street born July 26th

July 1804
29th William George s of William & Ann Messer of Wilson Street born April 15th

Hope this helps

Dawn

Hi - thank you for the St Leonards Shoreditch look up. It hasn't solved my problems with sorting out who William Messer was (I thought it may have had his occupation), but I didn't have the street. Another piece in the puzzle!. I did reply earlier but not seen it! Barbara
