I am looking for a christening of Amelia Bennet father Isaac mother unknown at this time. Amelia was born c1832 according to the census.
Amelia married Thomas Day. Their first child Elizabeth Day Bennet was christened in Ramsbury 29 Febuary 1852 and the next christening I have for the family is William Charles christened 10 August 1856. Williams birth is registered as Charles William
I haven't confirmed the date of their marriage yet so unable to purchase cert.
Any help greatly appreciated

There is this christening on Family Search in1833 in Ramsbury https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NBC3-BP2
The father's name is Ezekiel Bennet. I wonder if this could be shortened to Isaac?

Thank you for that, I did see the Ezekial Bennet and wondered the same thing. Thanks for the marriage date too I missed that.

Out of curiosity - where does her father's name come from if you don't have the marriage cert yet?
Edit - Sorry - Just looked at the 1861 and Isaac was living with the couple. His age and birth place in Inkpen, Berkshire are a good match for the 1851 census Ezekel Benett with daughter Amelia living in Axford near Ramsbury

Thanks just checked the 1851 and checked christenings on family search and they match. Thanks again
