Title: James Smith Adderbury 1760 baptism
Post by: erko on Saturday 09 March 13 04:41 GMT (UK)

I am seeking information on the baptism of James Smith at Adderbury about 1760. I belive that his parentrs may have been JOhn Smith and Mary however this has not been confirmed.

Also any other siblings if in the records

Thank you

Jennifer

Hi

There are a few trees that appear to substantiate your info, though I would certainly double check. I
don't fully understand why the baptism should take place in Herefordshire, but this appears to be the one they are using:
England & Wales Christening Records, 1530-1906
Name:   James Smith
Gender:   Male
Christening Date:   26 Aug 1759
Christening Place:   Mordiford, Herefordshire, England
Father's Name:   John Smith
Mother's name:   Mary

A number of them also appear to have his parents as John Smith = Mary Glarris, m. Germany.

Hi again

Sorry, I should have also said, they have the birth as Adderbury 1858.

Thankyou for all this information. I am not sure about those trees as I think sometimes people find something that fits fairly closely and then that is accepted. I would like you wonder why not have baptism in Adderbury

Thanks

Hi

I would totally agree, hence my caution at double checking, one consolation is that it is one less to consider..
