Title: Birth Blewbury or Bucklebury - Charles Ball Completed
Post by: TangoDancer on Thursday 21 June 12 17:53 BST (UK)

Can anyone who has sight of the registers please check a birth for me, please?

Census shows Birthplace as Bucklebury but our friends at IGI have one of a date that fits at Blewbury.

Charles Ball, born about 1805 from census.

IGI has 1 Mar 1807 for the one in Blewbury.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi,

The Blewbury St.Michael transcripts  have a Charles Ball bapt. 1-3-1807 s/o Thomas & Elizabeth - born 19 Feb 1807.
No other detail shown.  There is no record of the parents marrying in this parish.

These are included on the  cd - OXF-WAN02 as issued by the Oxfordshire Family History Soc.
with their permission.

Hello
This might help.
Berks Burial Index. 10 Nov 1808 Charles Ball infant.
so looks like the 1807 baptised Charles did not survive.
The Bucklebury registers are only available in the Record Office

Many thanks, both of you.

Your joint efforts have helped me to rule out the Bewsbury one, which is a big step forward.
