Hello there :)
I have been doing research on the Napier family who were originally from Surrey - pleas find them here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/190039653/william_henry-napier (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/190039653/william_henry-napier)
I did find on FamilySearch a record of a tree that seem to show the baptism of a girl named Ada Julia Napier (I will attach) but I cannot trace its source. Can anybody verify this record or anything to state she existed?
Thank you kindly
Ashley

The baptism was at Holy Trinity, Lambeth, Carlisle Lane. Indexed on Ancestry as RAPIER and looking at other entries by the same clerk it is hard to say what the first letter is. It doesn't look like either his R or N.

Looking at the Parish record, I think it is RAPIER. The R is very similar to the "Royal Cottage" on the previous page by the same hand - J GILLMAN.
William Henry RAPIER is a civil engineer on the baptism record if that helps.
