Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: Lewes non-conformist baptism 1800, 1806 or 1809 - SHAW

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.

Sussex Lookup Requests / Lewes non-conformist baptism 1800, 1806 or 1809 - SHAW

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

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Re: St. Peter Port Baptism/Birth - Fitzpatrick

Thanks Rosie,

I had looked for him on the 1939 Register on Ancestry and not found him. They're completely mistranscribed, for example as "Patrick Gabrielle U R J Fitz" for his mother (in the image the surname is obviously one word as Fitzpatrick, the U and the J are the tails of letters in the redacted line above).

I think I know the link now, I have a Gabrielle Rosalie Gilles (her mother's maiden name was Heulard), who was a sister of my father-in-law's great grandfather. I have her date of birth as 28 Jul 1890, but this could be mistranscribed from elsewhere.

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / St. Peter Port Baptism/Birth - Fitzpatrick
« on: Sunday 01 December 24 10:50 GMT (UK)  »
My father-in-law has Guernsey ancestors and is a quite close DNA match (maybe 3rd cousins) to a couple of people descended from John Maurice Heulard Fitzpatrick (who was apparently a successful speedway racer). They don't have any details of his parents.

Please could someone with access 1920s records of baptisms or birth registrations look him up for us. Interested in parents' names and ideally mother's maiden name (maybe Heulard??).

I've put the bare bones of what I know on WikiTree:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fitzpatrick-6007

According to various sources he was born 19 Mar 1926 in St. Peter Port.

Thanks,

Thanks Tickettyboo, I hadn't realised that there are unindexed images of parish record on FamilySearch.  I reported it as a mistranscription on FreeReg, they can always choose to add a note the record.

Thanks Rosie, do you think it's obvious enough that it's Brown, not Brocon, to report it as a mistranscription on FreeReg?

The person transcribing for FreeReg was probably doing it from the same BTs with the gap.

Craclyn, I'll post a reminder when UK is out of lockdown.  I've been to Woodhorn once to look through records, but it's a 5 hour drive from me on a good day.

Hello,

Please could someone with access to the microfiche/images of St. Lawrence, Warkworth parish records lookup the following three events for me.  I'm interested in any additional information on the records.

Baptism Elizabeth Brown 27 Dec 1818. This is transcribed as Elizabeth Brocon on FreeReg. Is this a mistranscription? I have parents names George and Ellen, abode Warkworth, George was a shepherd. FreeReg doesn't give date of birth, although I have 15 Nov 1818 from somewhere (wasn't always good at keeping sources).

Baptism William Brown (my 3xGreat Grandfather) 12 Jan 1812. This one is on FamilySearch but not FreeReg (seems to be a gap early 1811 to early 1813, no Johns, Williams, Elizabeths or Marys). FamilySearch just gives father's name George. Again, I have date of birth 17 Sep 1811 from somewhere.

Marriage of George Brown and Eleanor/Ellen Smart 19 May 1811. From FamilySearch, no additional info.

I'm trying to improve George and family's profiles on WikiTree:

Thanks,

Hello Bill,

We think we've found their two younger children's births (Thomas Q1 1841 and Elizabeth Mary Emma Q1 1846) on the GRO website with mother's maiden name Matthews.  Although we haven't paid our £7 each to confirm it's them.

We're then thinking that Elizabeth Matthews first married a Ranney, but can't find that marriage.

The eldest child Thomas was born 5th May 1833 according to his baptism in 1835, there's a note above the date which we can't read (image attached).

Hello David,

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you.  I seem to have stopped receiving notification emails from Rootschat (maybe I missed them in junk email) and only just found your replies.

Thanks for all the useful information and links to online trees.

We've never had access to any French records, so these trees are invaluable and take us a lot further back up these branches.

Thanks again,

James
