Title: Charing baptism
Post by: Mombasa on Wednesday 22 December 10 14:45 GMT (UK)

Hello,
Can anyone do a baptism look up for me please ?, I am looking for the baptism of Amy Dennett who I think was baptised in Charing, Kent in 1833/4, there is a very slim possibility that she knocked ten years off her age and was actually born in 1823, (the 1841 census shows an Amy Dennett aged 18 in service in Otterden)  :-\  but later census returns indicate a birth date of 1833/4.
Thanks, John

Thanks for that link Rog, it might actually be Amy Dennetst's parents that are shown in the burials, which would be very handy to know.................... now all I need is that baptism.

Regards and Merry Christmas, John

Hi John

When, where, whom does she marry to perhaps give us another clue or two?

Hello,
I have not found a marriage.  She had a base born son (Thomas) born in a London workhouse in 1848 and then lived as the wife of Samuel Heatley in the St Georges in the East, and then Westminster areas of London, where they had another seven children.
She is shown as Amy Heatley in the 1861, 1871 and 1881 census, she died in Pancras London in 1901.
In one of the census returns her place of birth is shown as Cheynham, Kent, while in the others it is Charing, Kent.

Thanks, John

 :)It might be worth checking the PR Baptisms for TEYNHAM,Kent, as Cheynham could be a mistranscription of an over flourished  T  :P

Thanks for that idea, a good suggestion, I will save that for later, I think a baptisms in Charing has to be my first place to look.
Unfortunately I can't find any birth / baptism on line so it will have to be a parish register look up.

I'm sorry but I cannot see any Amys born Charing in this time period.

There are several Dennett families.

One other clue that may help, is that in the burials there is a Martha D B in 1837 aged 2 from Stalisfield.

Hi Lis,
Thanks for looking, I must be in the correct area but I guess she was baptised elsewhere and was perhaps living in Charing from infancy, Stalisfield may well be worth a look.

Thanks, John

Stalisfield is covered by the new pilot record scheme by the LDS and she's not there either.

There are so many possibilities. She could have changed her name, non conformist baptism, missed out altogether.
Sorry don't want to depress you at Christmas,

have a good one
Lis :)
