I'd be very grateful if anyone could do a Parish Records look up for a baptism of Frederick Reginald SEDGWICK for me. He was born in March 1909 in either Little Clacton (1911 census) or neighbouring Thorpe le Soken (family tradition). Thank you.

Are you certain he was b. Mar1909????
This is the only birth reg I can find
Frederick Reginald Sedgwick
Jun qtr 1909
Tendring
4a 782
and this ties in with the following death reg
Frederick Reginald Sedgwick
born 19 April 1909
death reg Mar qtr 1977
age 67
Westminster
15 2124

Yes, that's right, born in March so the birth was registered in the June quarter - March 30th, I believe!
-
but the death reg gives his d.o.b. as 19 April??

The free 1911 index shows his birthyear as 1910. What was his mothers name on the 1911
-
Depending what you know of the family - if Frederick had younger brothers called Harold S and Gordon A - then their mothers maiden name was Reeves as per freebmd
-
No, you are right, I'd remembered it wrong! It was April.
However, the fact remains that I am still desperate to learn if he was baptised in either Little Clacton or Thorpe le Soken - or, of course, possibly neither! I'd expect it to be some time in May or June if he was.

From my earlier replies
What was his mothers name on the 1911

Yes, don't worry, I know all that :-)
Just want to know which font they dipped his head in.
-
Yes, don't worry, I know all that :-)
But we didn't hence the questions. You still haven't given his mothers name from the 1911 entry.
What religion were the family

Let's just stick to the parish records and not let this get complicated!
Honestly, I know everything about them already, and if you don't have access to the Little Clacton or Thorpe le Soken PRs then I am afraid that you really cannot help me, despite your best intentions. I only want to know where he was baptised.

Simon,
All we are trying to do is make the look up easier - if you had the correct date of birth (which seemingly you didn't) then we knew to look from that date - sometimes baptisms are carried out within a day of the birth - sometimes months , sometimes years - but if you have the correct date of birth that is a starting point.
Carole was asking for names of parents as that makes look ups easier -sometimes families had several children baptised at the same time - so searching by the surname Sedgwick and children born to ?? Sedgwick helps find the person you are looking for.
Carole also asked what religion they were -as this narrows down the number of churches records to look at
If you are not willing to help us in our attempt to help you in your research then there is nothing more I will do
