Baptism record for William T Witney (born 1914)
« on: Sunday 30 April 17 00:20 BST (UK) »
I am unable to find any baptismal record for William T Witney whose birth was registered at Salford, Lancashire during June 1916.  William's mother's maiden name was Witney.
I hope someone can help .....
Many thanks

Hi

Your header is incorrect - birth was 1916 as shown in post

Manchester baptisms for that year are not available online.  If you are looking for his mothers christian name you will need to buy a copy of the birth cert

Many thanks Ladies,
     
Yes, you are perfectly right William was born in 1916.     I am really searching for baptismal records for  Eric C. B. Witney, who was born in 1914.

A senior moment I'm afraid  ...

No conclusive proof of denomination. possibly Wesleyan but that would only be a guess.

It is more than probable that Eric C B's mother was also Georgina Witney.
