Title: Last chance? - Charles Smith b.1807 Flore
Post by: Gemsgirl on Friday 31 October 08 14:11 GMT (UK)

Hello Listers
I am looking for the birth/baptism  and marriage of Charles Smith born in Flore about 1807
A kind volunteer (Pennie) looked up the Parish Records for me but sadly the fiche was unreadable and he found no trace of his marriage. However, the marriage was on the Northants Marriage Index (thanks Sandy!) and I noticed that there is now a Northants Baptism Index which includes many entries for Flore. My question is: would these be transcribed from the parish records or is there a chance that Charles would be on this this index?
Any ideas?

Hi Gemsgirl

I checked Flore Baptisms from 1800 to 1812 but no mention of Charles
being baptised there.

Many thanks Jackie
Although I don't think you found Charles - From the census I now know that Charles's mum was Ann and your reply prompted me to look again at the IGI - I have found him and his brother Richard who lived next door!
Thanks again
