Title: John Parish Baptised 17 July 1785
Post by: AdamsHodgetts on Wednesday 11 May 22 14:21 BST (UK)

Hi,

I'm currently going through my Parish ancestors via Halesowen Parish Registers and came across: -


17 Jul 1785 • St John the Baptist, Halesowen,Worcester,England
John, son of William & Phebe Parish, baptised. Page 295 of Halesowen Parish Registers
1786

and
 
3 May 1786 • St John the Baptist, Halesowen, Worcestershire,England
John Parish, infant, buried on 3rd May 1786. Page 308 of Halesowen Parish Registers


There's another John Parish, the son of John and Nancy Parish, who was baptised on 14 Feb 1790

and buried on 26 April, 1791 at St John's the Baptist, Halesowen.


However Ancestry has come up with: -

Name   John Parish
Gender   Male
Baptism Date   17 Jul 1785
Baptism Place   Halesowen,Worcester,England
Death Date   26 Apr 1791
Father   William Parish
Mother   Phoebe
FHL Film Number   886632, 886633, 886634

So... the question I'm asking is which is the correct burial for John Parish, the son of William and Phoebe Parish?
