Title: Lewes non-conformist baptism 1800, 1806 or 1809 - SHAW
Post by: JamesSut on Sunday 29 December 24 09:29 GMT (UK)

Hello,

Does anyone have access to images of baptisms at the Jireh Chapel at Cliffe?

I'm looking for a double-check of the dates for Naomi Shaw, born 1799.

I've seen three transcriptions of what I think is the same record:
Born 24 Feb 1799, baptised 5 Jun 1806.
Born 3 Jun 1799, baptised 24 Feb 1800.
Born 5 Jun 1806, baptised 24 Feb 1809.

An entry in a family bible states she was born 5 Jun 1799. 1799 as her birth matches her age on several censuses.

Thanks,

James

Hi Omega,

Two of the transcriptions I mentioned are from SFHG, one in "Lewes Jireh" and one in "Lewes Other Nonconformists.". They have the months swapped around between birth and baptism and different years.

I was hoping somebody had access to an image of the record to work our which (if either) is right.

We think her date of birth is 5 Jun 1799, which doesn't match either of them.
