Annie Lawrence in Thatcham
« on: Thursday 23 October 14 16:09 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for the birth of Annie Lawrence in about 1865.  She appears in the 1871 Census aged 6 in the family of William and Eliza Lawrence, and in 1881 and 1891 in the same family. She married John Timms in 1895.  However she appears not to have been baptised until 01 November 1879.  Can anyone tell me if her age appears in the baptism record. And any suggestions about finding her birth?  Any help will be much appreciated - thank you.

Strange. If you look at the others in the family - Charles, James, Henry, Alfred and George, it looks as if their births were all registered in Newbury. However there is no Annie registered at the right time. The only females are

Births Mar 1864   
LAWRENCE    Elizabeth        Newbury    2c   227    
LAWRENCE    Emma Matilda        Newbury    2c   242   

June 1864
LAWRENCE    Emily        Newbury    2c   206   

I wonder if she was either registered under one of these names or not registered at all?

Thank you.

I've located all of these in the 1871 Census, so it seems Annie wasn't registered.
