Title: Baptism record for William T Witney (born 1914)
Post by: Susie8 on Sunday 30 April 17 00:20 BST (UK)
I am unable to find any baptismal record for William T Witney whose birth was registered at Salford, Lancashire during June 1916.  William's mother's maiden name was Witney.
I hope someone can help .....
Many thanks

Hi

Your header is incorrect - birth was 1916 as shown in post

Manchester baptisms for that year are not available online.  If you are looking for his mothers christian name you will need to buy a copy of the birth cert

Many thanks Ladies,
     
Yes, you are perfectly right William was born in 1916.     I am really searching for baptismal records for  Eric C. B. Witney, who was born in 1914.

A senior moment I'm afraid  ...

So: Eric Charles Brennan Witney (no separate mmn) birth reg Jun 1914 Prestwich.

You ask for baptism records, but do you know which religious denomination is likely for him?

No conclusive proof of denomination. possibly Wesleyan but that would only be a guess.

It is more than probable that Eric C B's mother was also Georgina Witney.

As Claire found William's baptism on Lancs OPC - have you looked there for Eric's?

There maybe a chance Eric Charles Brennan  Witney (Born-19th March 1914) put his fathers name on his marriage certificate?
He married Edith Cook 1948 at St George, Pendleton.
