Looking for c1770 baptism of Ann Blake at Didcot(?)

[stevemiller]

William Blake of Didcot married Elizabeth Harmsworth in February 1770 at Streatley.

They had the following baptised at Didcot (bishop transcripts only on Findmypast)
7 Jun 1772   Mary
31 Oct 1773 Elizabeth
13 Jul 1775  William

I’m looking for the baptism of their other daughter Ann (born c 1772 per her 1848 burial aged 76).

There is one tree on Ancestry which has Ann’s baptism at Didcot on 25 Dec 1770, but no sources.

I wonder if there is a kind soul who could confirm if Ann was baptised at Didcot, otherwise I will have to look at Streatley.

Hi Steve,

I have a copy of the Didcot All Saints transcripts (ex Oxford FHS) and yes Ann's baptisms is recorded;
Ann Blake bapt. 25-12-1770 (d/o William & Elizabeth).

Hope this helps.

Hello Alan,
Thank you so much for that confirmation - I sort of hoped you would come up trumps!!!

I was happy Ann was correct (she witnessed her sisters' marriages and all three were in her mother's 1815 PCC will) but I wanted the icing on the cake with the baptism.

I'll wait for Oxon or Berks FHS to make Didcot a seperate download before I tackle the Blakes.

best wishes
Steve
