Title: William Wright baptism look-up
Post by: coyote99 on Thursday 03 August 17 10:44 BST (UK)
Hi, could someone please look up a baptism record for William Wright baptised 16 Apr 1828 at St Nicholas Brighton Sussex. His parents were David & Mary, what I need to know is the occupation of the father.
Thanks

Unfortunately the only transcription I can find does not give the father's occupation.

I think William Wright baptised 16 Apr 1828 at St Nicholas Brighton possibly died Jul 1828 and was buried at St Nicholas Brighton on 22 Jul 1828. The transcription I've seen only gives child's name and age as 0 yrs.
Could I please ask someone to look up this burial to see if it mentions parents names.
Thanks

Thanks John, I had hoped, as he was an infant, that parents names would be given but it's not to be.
Thanks for looking
