Title: Philadelphia Vine "COMPLETED"
Post by: Mimmi on Tuesday 21 July 09 19:22 BST (UK)
 Can anyone help to verify a baptism date for Philadelphia Vine,daughter of James Vine and Philadelphia Wall, please. I understand that she was born at Eastbourne in either  October1752 or October 1755.  Both dates appear on the IGI but as they are member submitted they may not be correct.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks again,

Thanks very much for that. It is most interesting that there is still something tangible out there. Wish I had the funds to put in a bid
