Title: Gower family Weybread
Post by: regina on Friday 04 April 14 10:37 BST (UK)
Hi
I am searching for the baptism dates for the children of Samuel and Sarah Gower at Weybread.
It is a long list, but they are very close together!  Any help or guidance would be appreciated
Samuel - 1768
Samuel - 1769
James - 1771
John - 1773
Sarah - 1775
Sarah - 1776
Benjamin - 1778
Elizabeth 1780
Benjamin - 1783
Francis - 1786
Lydia - 1780
Hannah - 1790
I think there must have been some infant deaths, as some names are duplicated
Many thanks :-\
