Hi there

I have a Charles west born around 1810-1812 cuddesdon. My records show a father called Charles Harper and a mother Mary west. Just wondering if this was true and did Charles have any siblings??

What records did you get this info from?

If his father was Charles Harper - was he illegitimate?  If not - why was his surname West which was his mothers maiden name?

Hi
The baptism is entered in the All Saints Church, Cuddesdon PR's twice.

He is in there 29 Nov 1807 as Charles Harper and again the same day as Charles West. In both entries he is described as s o Charles Harper and Mary Wets base born of Cuddesdon

That does it then

And

there is a Mary West who married after banns  in the same church on 21 Nov 1814 to Daniel Sanders of Chilton. Wits John West & Isabelle Sanders.

I cannot see a marriage in the parish between Charles and Mary so this marriage may be yours and may help your research?

Carole sorry for the delay

Its all rather confusing. A baptism record I cant get into just states that a charles west was baptised and  the father is named as Charles Harper and the mother Mary west. Rather odd. Im going to go back again and make sure these are the right Wests for my tree.
Thank you for help

Kind regards
Ian

Hi Ian
The double entry for the baptism and the use of both names is not unusual. It is used in circumstances as actually stated where a child is base born i.e out of wed lock. It is clear that both families were eager to see right was done in the eyes of the church (and the village I suspect) and the father who was known was recorded.

Later the mother married but seemingly to another chap other than the childs father - not unusual then nor now!!!
