Title: Baptism Hatfield St Lawrence 1823, query with name
Post by: kit54 on Thursday 24 January 13 17:26 GMT (UK)

Please can anyone look up the baptism in Hatfield, St Lawrence on 31/3/1823 for:

William Morton Trimmingham?
(I found this on the IGI, but according to other sources, the surname is similar to this, but not the same, so I'd be very grateful for help in clarifying this.

Many thanks,

Chris

Hi,

I cannot find the baptism - but his marriage spells his name with one "M" - Trimingham - as does the 1851 census

Hi Suz,

Thank you very much for your reply - the reason I posted was that according to the findmypast site, the name on the baptism record was Trimmington, but like you, I have seen census and marriage info, and on these it's always Trimmingham, so I think that the baptism is wrong.

Thanks again for your kindness, I really do appreciate it,

Chris

Hi Oly,
Thanks very much for that - I really do appreciate your kindness.  The reason I was interested in William Trimmingham is that according to the findmypast site, the name was similar, but nevertheless, slightly different. I have done a little bit of research and have concluded that the findmypast site has transcribed the name wrongly, so now I don't think that this William is "mine".

Thanks again,

Chris

Hi KLM,
Thank you very much for that - I really do appreciate all your kind efforts on my behalf. Unfortunately, the surname that I am researching is not Timmingham but Timmington - my attention was drawn by the findmypast site which stated that William's name was Trimmington; however, after looking into this, I have very little doubt that the name is Trimmingham and that it has been transcribed incorrectly.  (I'm actually trying to find the baptism for Elizabeth Trimmington, about 1826. She married John Wellington Hunt in Blackburn in 1846 and on 2 subsequent censuses she states that she was born in Wigglesworth, on one in Liverpool and on another in Kilham!!!  Despite throwing the kitchen sink at it, I am no nearer to finding her baptism or family!)
Thanks again,

Chris
