[HLW]

Can any one advise me where to look for a birth/baptism in Marshfield Gloucestershire?

i have two people i think were born in the area but cant find them

Augustus Paul Jenkins 1793

and Mary Miles 1812

Any help appreciated

He is shown as a surgeon on the 1841 census but died aged 57 in 1850. Was living in Cambridge but shown as not born in county so could have been born anywhere really

Luckily - it's an uncommon mix of christian names

Somewhere - you can find a list of surgeons which may give more info.  I'm sure somebody with more knowledge than me will provide info on where to look

Have you seen this article?

Thanks Carole
That's the chap i am researching a real cad!
I think there is a connection with a Jenkins medical family that lived in Marshfield but cannot find his birth.
If anyone has any idea where i can look?
Thanks
Helen


I thought I'd add a little more info if that helps

I believe he may be the son of Abraham and Fanny Jenkins
or maybe a nephew
I also believe Mary Miles is his illegitimate daughter
Only because of family folklore and the fact she names him on two of her marriage certificates
No idea who her mother was only that she was born 1812 ish in Marshfield

Charles Jenkins b 1791 Marshfield.  It does seem a bit of a coincidence and both Augustus and Charles had sons called Abraham.
