Title: Markfield Baptims
Post by: GEEBEETAS on Sunday 19 October 14 08:50 BST (UK)

Could anyone with access to Markfield records please help with christenings for James Webster b abt 1816, Amy Webster abt 1828, Betsy Webster b abt 1827, all born Markfield according to censuses. Betsy's sister was Ann Webster b Desford abt 1813 and Amy was James's sister. I'm hoping they may all be siblings.Many thanks in anticipation

I have looked at the Markfield records and although there are a lot of records for Websters there are no listings at all for James or Amy and the closest to Betsy  abt 1827 would be the following
Elizabeth   Webster   F   CHR   27   FEB   1825   Thomas   Sarah

At St Michael's, Markfield I did find a James

26-Nov   1815    JAMES   WEBSTER   THOMAS & SARAH

There is a bit of a gap between the next 2

28-Jan   1821    WILLIAM   WEBSTER   THOMAS & SARAH
27-Oct   1822    SARAH   WEBSTER   THOMAS & SARAH

then Elizabeth and earlier

08-Mar   1812     MARY   WEBSTER   THOMAS & SARAH

just to add in case it helps :)
