Mary Blackburn born Keswick 1842
« on: Tuesday 15 March 11 23:09 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone have access to babtism records for Keswick 1842.  I am looking for Mary Blackburn who on the 1851 Census is 8 years old, born Keswick to Joseph and Isabella Blackburn.  This census record is in the township of Whitehaven, Ecclesiastical District of Saint Nicholas.

I have found 2 possible births on FreeBMD in the Cockermouth reg district which I think covers Keswick but cannot afford to buy them both.  I am hoping the babtism will help me decide between  the April/ June and the July/September registrations.

Many thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick reply CaroleW.  This could possibly mean that the Jul/Sept birth record is the wrong one and I should perhaps try for the earlier birth record.  I didn't think to try the IGI.

Thanks again,
