Bishops Castle Parish Registers lookup pls - HETET & MORGAN

[stikybeak]

Hi 

I am hoping someone has access to the Bishops Castle Parish Registers. I am looking for the baptism/christening details of any children to Joseph Louis Maria Hetet (sometimes spelt Hetit) & Mary Morgan. According to FamilySearch they were married 5 Nov 1813 Bishops Castle.

Thanks in advance
Yvonne

As you have had no response to your request, I will have a look for you tomorrow while I'm at the Shropshire Archives

I checked the baptisms for 1813-1823 and this was the only one I could find:

No. 135
January 16th 1815   Louis son of Louis & Mary   HETTET

No mother's maiden name or address shown.

I also checked 1810-1812 but nothing there either

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my query. I was hoping to find more siblings for Louis but it looks as if there may not be any.

Thank you so much

Hi again,

Just rechecked on Family Search and they have a baptism/christening date for a Louis Hittet of 6th March 1815 at Bishops Castle. Parents Louis Hittet, Mary.

I wonder which is right even with the differences in the spelling of the surname.

Cheers

The Family Search records must only be used as a secondary source, in case of transcription errors etc.  I see that Joseph and Louis' marriage is on there twice, probably because the transcriber wasn't sure what the surname said.

At the Archives, I was looking at a microfilm copy of the ORIGINAL parish register page, and it definitely looked like HETTET to me. 

Where I can, I always check original material as the primary source.

Hope that helps

Have you managed to trace the family any further forward?

I can't find Louis jnr in the 1841 census

Hi,

I don't know if this helps but
I see in 1841 Mary is living with a Catharine Morgan who I presume is her mother  - I have an 1831 census of Bishops Castle which only recorded heads of household - there are no Hetits of any spelling variation however there is widow Morgan, no occupation, with a total of 3 in the household.

I've just looked at the actual image for 1841:-

Church Street, Bishops Castle, Shropshire
HO107 piece 919 folio 10/10 page 13

Catherine Morgan 83 Grocer
Mary Hettit 47 Grocer

Both born in the County


No sign of husband.


On the transcription page Mary's surname has been transcribed as Hetter!!

Pity the 1841 didn't state whether married or widowed
