James Hext - b. 1777 Moretonhampstead
« on: Tuesday 04 December 12 19:10 GMT (UK) »
Contrary to earlier posting, I'm trying to verify the birth/baptism of a James Hext in 1777 in Moretonhampstead. A sibling Thomas Hext was baptised 19 Nov 1775 and another Thomas Hext baptised 20 Mar 1778 so James should be somewhere in between.  Does anybody have access to Moretonhampstead parish records?

According to IGI records which contain Moretonhampstead baptisms for that time (batch C051511), no James was baptised.
