Title: Baptism lookup Silk
Post by: GrahamGall on Thursday 09 October 08 11:24 BST (UK)

I wonder if anyone who visits Woodhorn regularly could look up a baptism for William John Silk born
Chathill in 1900. I think he might have been baptised in Embleton Presbyterian or possibly Ellingham
Church of England.
His entry in 1901 census gives a rather elderly mother and I think she  may have really been the granny.
I'd be most grateful
Graham

Brilliant...confirms my suspicion that his ''sister'' was really his mother.
Thanks
Graham
