Title: Greywell St Mary lookup request
Post by: Frank75 on Monday 03 November 14 15:15 GMT (UK)

I am looking for the baptism of Thomas Paris.  The 1861 Census has him shown as being born in Greywell, Hampshire.  He is aged 62.  I would be grateful if anyone can look up the parish records of St Mary, Greywell.  Thank you.

Frank,

Sorry, there's no trace of a Thomas PARIS in the right age-range in the Greywell PRs, the microfiche copies of which show abysmal record keeping!  However, in 1841 & 1851 he gave his age as 44 & 54 respectively, producing an earlier birth year c1797, and in 1851 he gave his place of birth Basingstoke!
 
Please see further research results in PM.

On Knightroots at Upton Grey, Hampshire there is a Thomas Paris baptised 20/9/1809 Father Charles, Mother Elizabeth. There are some more Paris surnames there as well.
regards.
