I wonder if anyone has full details of the parish registers for Stratfield Saye please?
The IGI shows a base born child Eliza Strong, baptised 1813, parents Martha Strong and William Bartholomew.
I would love to know if the original has any other comments/details, particularly about William, as I have no idea who he is or where he is from.
Many thanks

Dear Hatinavid
hi there
I looked at the register today at the HRO ...
baptism 7.11.1813 illegitimate daughter of William Bartholomew - Abode Tidmarsh, Farmer
and Martha Strong of Stratfield Say.
I have just checked where Tidmarsh is and its Berkshire about 15 miles away.
Hope he went on to marry her !!!

Oh wow, Lucy, thank you so very, very much! :)
And, nope, he never married her, the cad >:( Martha was my 4x Gt Grandmother, and she ended up marrying my 4x gt Grandfather, Thomas Cowdery in 1818 in Middlesex. [He is also a bit of a mystery as he inconsiderately died just prior to the 1851 census, he has now been my brickwall for 9years, so do let me know if you ever stumble across a baptism for him around 1790 lol]
I really appreciate your time in looking up Eliza's baptism and am so pleased I now have an abode for William. Wonder if he was already married
Again many thanks
