Title: Lookup request for MARTIN baptisms Banstead
Post by: chiplassie on Sunday 13 November 11 22:05 GMT (UK)

I would appreciate a lookup for baptisms for Martin children born to James Martin and wife Kezia in the time frame of 1779 to 1789 in the Banstead parish, if possible please.  Let me know if this not an acceptable request.
Thank you,
CL

Hi there;
  Your link was to an Ann Marten with similar parents' names.  So thank you for those details.
CL ;)

Spelling on old documents could vary due to the high levels of illiteracy in those days.  You will note that Kezia is Kasiah on the Banstead entry

The christian name Kezia is not unique but given the area and same fathers name - it's a strong possibility that they were the same family

Hi CL.

There do not seem to be any baptisms of MARTIN children to these parents at Banstead in the 1779-1789 timeframe.

I can confirm Carole's finding for Bethania,and correct in all detail except that the transcription shows the mother's name as KEZIA.

The above was noted from transcriptions compiled by the West Surrey Family History Society.
