Title: Bedworth Baptims look up request
Post by: tamarclaire on Monday 08 January 24 22:33 GMT (UK)

Hello,
Would anyone be able to check for the following baptisms at Bedworth:

John Goodman c 1775
Thomas Capewell c 1755
Ann Brown c 1752

All were of the parish of Bedworth at the time of their marriages.   Thomas Capewell married Ann Brown on 28 July 1777 at Bedworth and John Goodman married Sarah Capewell on 12 October 1807 at Bedworth. The estimated dates of birth are based on the ages at the time of death.

Thank you very much to anyone who is able to help.

Thanks very much for your reply.  Disappointingly, I can't find a baptism of any of the three at Bedworth.

Thanks again for your help.

Best match I can find on FindMyPast:

'Thos Capwell son of John Capwell and his wife Hannah baptized 1 Feb 1755' at Polesworth.

Ann Brown daughter of Thomas and Mary Brown bapt. 27 March 1748, Bedworth.

I can not yet see a John Goodman being baptized anywhere nearby!

worncoort - Thank you very much for the very useful parish finder link.

djm297 - Thank you very much for Thos Capwell baptised at Polesworth which could well be the right person especially as Polesworth and Bedworth are so close to each other.  Thank you too for the baptism for Ann Brown which I somehow managed to miss when I searched the Bedworth baptisms!

For now John Goodman's place of birth remains a mystery.  The only thing I know from the 1841 census is that he wasn't born in Leicestershire

Thanks again. I very much appreciate the help you have both given me.
