Title: Baptism look-up help please
Post by: TMA74 on Wednesday 04 July 12 18:08 BST (UK)
Hi

I'm hoping someone can help me; with the only line in my tree, that I haven't been able to continue.

My 3rd great grandfather was Abraham Ramsden born abt 1824 in Islington. He was a plasterer.

I know his father was John Ramsden from the marriage certficate, his occupation is down as Millwright on one, and Engineer on the other (which are essentially the same).  Father is down as deceased in the 1st marriage in 1845.

In my research I came across a possible brother for Abraham. A John Ramsden born in Islington, father John, an engineer on marriage cert.
Plus they both married at the same church St. John The Baptist, Hoxton a fews years apart.  And the witness on Abrahams 1st marriage was a John Ramsden. John's occupation in the 1861 census is down as Plasterer, so lots of similarities.

I have a public tree with all the info on him so far here http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=are-we-related&id=P92

Any help on this would be great thanks. I just need to find his parents on a baptism record.

//Edit

Just adding census place of birth information:

1841 Not found
1851 Islington - birth abt 1824
1861 Islington - birth abt 1827
1871 London, Middlesex - birth abt 1825
1881 Bexleyheath - birth abt 1831, maybe his new wife gave the information, he did live in Bexleyheath before moving to Dartford
1888 Death in Dartford - birth abt 1815

Hi Louisa

Sorry for the confusion, I took the birth date of 1815 from his death registration.

I have updated my original post with the births from the census. So more than likely born around 1824, he was of full age on the marriage in 1845.

Best Regards,

Terry

There is not a sign of him on 1841 unless he has been miss transcribed, also no baptism found, marriage has a witness John Ramsden

Hi Louisa

Thanks for looking. I couldn't find him the 1841 either.

Hopefully one day I will find a baptism for him and can go back further.

Best Regards, Terry
