baptism lookup please , 1862 Welton By Lincoln
« on: Tuesday 19 August 08 19:45 BST (UK) »
hi,
i dont know if anyone will be able to help me with this but i found a baptism on the igi that may or may not be my g grandfather , james william humphrey born 18 dec 1861 in saxilby.
james williams birth certificate gives no fathers name , but on the 1861 census his mother betsey humphrey is listed as a servant working for the gambles family in cammeringham , lincolnshire & on the igi there is a JAMES WILLIAM GAMBLES HUMPHREYS son of a BETSY HUMPHREYS christened  09 FEB 1862   Welton By Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
i know this is a long shot but my thinking is maybe that james was the illegitimate son of one of the gambles family and was wondering if someone could look at the baptism record as it might give me a bit more detail.
thanks
