Title: Where would a Baptism take place in Exeter for Mowbray House Nursing Home
Post by: IMF on Wednesday 29 October 14 19:11 GMT (UK)
Can anyone help me find my wife’s place ( church ) and date of baptism.

She was born on 1940's at Exeter, having been evacuated from London during WW2, and christened Beverley, returning to London after the war.

Her birth certificate shows she was born at Mowbray House Nursing Home, the registration district shown as Exeter, in the County Borough of Exeter.  The family were at the time living at 13 Clinton Street, Exeter.

Any help would be appreciated.

I believe Mowbray house nursing home was situated in Heavitree Exeter just off the main road, my uncle was also born here in 1947 and the sister/ midwife that delivered babies was the sister of the duke of malborough of this time. The church near was heavitree church (St Michaels) i Hope this answers your query. Regards Fiona

Clinton Street is St. Thomas, so it could be St. Thomas Parish Church.
