Author Topic: PALGRAVE birth/baptism lookup request (Read 1029 times)

I've been searching for the birth/baptism record of a Shelomith Drusilla SMITH born, allegedly, in Palgrave circa 1857. With a name like that it shouldn't be difficult but I can't find anything in FBMD or FS. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Failure to register a birth only became a fineable offence in 1874/5. Many births went unregistered prior to then

Who were her parents?

Hey Carole

Her parents were James SMITH and Maldonata Mary STEBBINGS. Hope that helps

If you check freebmd - the marriage was mid - 1857

If you check Stebbings births - there she is - born before the marriage
