Hi,

I am looking for a Baptism of Jeffrey Babb abt 1772, probably somewhere near Gratwich.

Any help much appreciated.

How sure are you of the date? Its a pretty distinctive name but the only baptism I can find for Jeffrey Bab is in Willenhall ,  baptised 26 June 1763 son of Jeffrey and Mary.

Is this too early?

Thanks Trish.

Yes, that is him. I saw the burial. That is how I got his approximate birth date. I doubt the 1763 baptism is him, but I guess they could have his age wrong when he died.
