London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: St Giles in the Fields - Weldon Champneys - Baptism 1809 - COMPLETED
« on: Wednesday 16 December 09 11:08 GMT (UK) »
Thank you Brett. For "my" Wm Weldon C the scent seems to go cold, further back than the baptism in Hoxton 1807.
So there were more than two Weldon Cs!
I wonder if people in the 1800s perhaps tried to Claim relationship by using a well-known, and perhaps a well-to-do-sounding forename? My Weldon was a silk weaver until, perhaps, that industry folded mid-century. Then he took on the chapel-keeping job.
Helpful discussion, thanks.
John
