Title: Kennington Parish registers
Post by: yonder on Wednesday 29 June 05 23:13 BST (UK)
I wonder if anyone has access to Kennington Parish registers? Or any advice as to whom I should contact to get information from them?

I am trying to get details of Baptisms for the following.

James  Down  born about 1829.
William Down  born  about 1833.
Eliza     Down born about  1837.


They were the family of William Down, a Miller servant, Kennington Mill, and Sarah Down.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Yonder.

Hi Yonder

It's a long time since you asked about these Baptisms, are you still looking?
If you still want them, I'll  give you the details.

Sincerely,

Hi BettyofKent,   

 I would very much like details of the baptism of the "Down" children.

Have you got access to burials at this church?, any information I would be very glad of,

Many Thanks, Yonder

  Hi Zacktyr,

Many thanks for your information about the marriage of William Down,

I have managed to download a transcript of this from Ancestry.

Thanks Yonder

Hi Yonder

There's a slight variation in spelling of the surname.
11th September 1832  William son of William & Sarah DOWNE
26th May 1834  John  son of William & Sarah DOWNE
4th December 1836  Eliza  dau of William & Sarah DOWN

A note against all three says Kennington (Miller)

There's another one for a William & Sarah DOWNE
28th Feb 1830  Catherine 
The note says Kennington (Labourer)

I do have Burials.
I've noticed one for a John DOWNE age one, of Kennington, buried 22nd May 1835
I'm happy to look for more if you want.

Betty
