baptism Langley
« on: Friday 14 September 12 14:47 BST (UK) »
Would anyone have access to baptism records for Langley.  Am trying to find the parents of Frederick Wright born January 1841 He is shown as a grandson of Abraham Wright on the 1841 census living in Manuden aged 5 months but I would like to ascertain who his mother and father were.  Many thanks for any help you can give.

Hi

The 1841 census shows Frederick aged 5 months living in Langley.

Abraham 35
Ann 40
Susan 15
Jane 15
James 12
Mary 10
Frederick 5 mths

It looks like Abraham may be a bit young to be his grandfather.

Hi

Found this marriage

St John the Evangelist, Langley
Abraham Wright (bachelor) & Ann Wisbey (spinster) both of the parish married by banns on 2 Oct 1821

Can't find a single baptism of any of their children, checked Langley, Arkesden & Clavering

The 1841 census doesn't show relationships (to head of household).
Neither does it show birthplaces!
And not forgetting that ages are rounded down to a multiple of 5 years.

Thanks everyone, sorry about the delay have been away.  The 51 census also shows Frederick as the grandson and the age fits as having been born in 1841.  I am wondering if perhaps he was baptised in Manuden since they lived there, but thanks for the marriage details for Abraham that is much appreciated.
