You are welcome .

What is written is : Bernard Thomas  born in Paris Seine department,1 september, son of Alexandre Macilroy and Elisabeth Reynolds , his wife ,
domestique rue grenelle 67 faubourg st G,
 was baptized on the 7 th of the same month arrow d'octobre , same year ...


So Bernard Thomas was baptized 5 weeks after his birth, which is coherent with his being protestant, and with the date on the preceding certificate ( 28 september).

My apologies if I previously said baptized on the 7th september.

Thanks again Joger,

That is brilliant.

What a lot has come tumbling out of those baptisms! Ordering it all in my mind now and reading around the people and events of the time.

Best wishes, Tony.
