Title: Croydon Parish records
Post by: Ripper on Thursday 07 May 15 08:29 BST (UK)
Hello has anyone got access to Croydon Parish registers? I need to find the christening of Dick Gibbs. He was born on April 29th 1889 at 43 Lambeth Road, Croydon, his mother was Emma Gibbs (formerly Heartfield) Basically I'm trying to find the name of his father, who is left 'blank' on the birth certificate.
Thanks in advance

Croydon P Rs are on Ancestry.

No Richard or Dick Gibbs around that time with mother Emma

Emma has a lodger on the 1891 census - a Fred Mann, age 27, iron moulder from Lincoln. A possibility?

Thank you both. I wonder if he was christened Dick Mann?
