Baptism
« on: Sunday 09 October 16 14:49 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me with the baptism for Henry Trenholm Reynolds, Son of Martha.  b 1858, parish of Great Dunmow
Extract from Free BMD
Births Sep 1858   (>99%)
Reynolds    Henry Trenholme        Dunmow    4a   293

I believe his father was William Reynolds but have no confirmation. 
If in fact he is the son of William, is there a record of a marriage between William and Martha.

Thank you in anticipation.
Trixy

I think the occupation is servant.
Is his father's name not mentioned at his marriage in 1880?

1861 census of Hatfield Broad Oak, his mother Martha has married a William Moreton, who describes Henry Reynolds age 3 as wife's son.
Perhaps the middle name of Trenholm is the clue.

Added: When he married 28 August 1880 to Amelia Pope (father Thomas), he gave his father as William Reynolds. The truth of that to be determined.

Just in case you need it.
Hatfield Broad Oak Marriages. St Mary's
William Morton age 25 single of Bush End, H B O, labourer father John, labourer  married Martha Reynolds age 23 single of Great Canfield , father James, labourer 26 November 1859. Both could write, witness Charles Saggs and Jane Cook, both made their mark.
