Can some kind person help me find a birth/baptism for my Gt Grandmother -
JANE FRENCH born circa 1846/1847 in Yarcombe Devon
Her family are from CHARDSTOCK DORSET
Her parents were CEPHAS FRENCH b1815 and ELIZABETH DIMOND b1817 in Chardstock Dorset
All her siblings were born in Chardstock except for Jane French and her brother William born circa 1848 who were both stated as being born in Yarcombe Devon
Many Thanks in anticipation
Sheila

Hi
It's not difficult to see how any confusion may arise; Yarcombe is close to 3 county borders > http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/Yarcombe/
However...
Source, IGI (submitted record):
1846 Jane French d. of Cephas & Elizabeth French, Yarcombe, birth.
Source, Free BMD:
Q4 1844 Jane French, Chard, V 10. P 375, birth reg.
Source, 1851 Census, Yarcombe Devon: Ref HO 107/1862/372/3
She is here with her parents and siblings, but nothing new.
Everything except a baptism!
Hope there is something here to help.
Regards
Geoff
