My Blakeman tree is sending me round the bend.. I sent off for a birth certificate for William Blakeman to find out who his mother was.It came back
With his Father William Blakeman, Mother Catherine Long he was born in Mill Street Warwick 11th Jan 1851.
I searched for William and Catherine's marriage and found they married in 1849 in Warwick, William's father is a Richard Blakeman and his occupation is a Carpenter.
I am trying to find a baptism record for William to find out who his mother was but on the census his year birth ranges from 1812 to 1821. I have since found a baptism for a George Blakeman 25th Dec 1814 Father Richard occupation Carpenter mother Mary and they lived in Smith Street Warwick St Nicholas Parish, I have gone backwards and forwards through the parish records in the hope of finding one for William.
Am I missing something? Could they have changed his name after to William.
Any help would be appreciated
