Title: Womanswould Parish Records
Post by: watney on Sunday 22 December 19 20:28 GMT (UK)
If there is anyone who has access to Womanswould PR's I would be most grateful if they would check if there is a christening for Law Simms son of John and Mary Simms 1 October 1752

Crossing my fingers, Happy Christmas everyone,  Brenda

Findmypast have a transcription for Law Syms with the date and parents name as given. I cannot see the original parish record only the transcription as it’s not on their website.
Hope it helps
Merry Christmas
Panda :)

Thank you so much for trying to help me, but I really need to know if this information is in the original PR's.       Best wishes, Brenda

I managed to look at the online parish register on findmypast using a wider search. This record does not appear in the original parish register. It may be in the bishops transcripts. You may need someone to visit the archives after the Christmas break and look at the original records held there.
Regards
Panda

Me again, there are identical christening details for Law Simms and his siblings in both Woodchurch and Womanswould on Find my Past, is there a reason for this ?         Brenda  :)

  The Womenswold one is actually from Familysearch, who do use incorrect parish names sometimes. I have seen baptisms at Hardres entered on Familysearch as Ham. The Woodchurch one looks much better.

Be careful with the Womanswold records on Findmypast as they seem to be actually Woodchurch records!

Borden is actually confused with Boughtom Aluph as is Oare
