Title: Baptism of James SHERDEN dated 4/2/1855 by Minister Henry BROWNE (Lancashire, UK
Post by: Leeroy_2 on Saturday 27 September 25 22:20 BST (UK)

Good morning researchers. I have been researching the Sherden family history for my many years now. They resided in the Lancashire. A relative, James SHERDEN b. 1854, and baptised 4/2/1855 by catholic minister Henry BROWNE. There is a listed Godmother, which I believe is Bridget RATTIGAN & a Godfather, which has me beat. If you’re able to view this handwriting and let me know who the godfather is, I will be very thankful. Thank you again 😊
