Buckinghamshire baptism
« on: Tuesday 16 July 24 06:46 BST (UK) »
Hello fellow family history enthusiasts.... I'm trying to find the baptism in a place called Loudwater, Buckinghamshire, of a child called Mary Ann BARLOW in about 1810-1811. She is aged 40 on the 1851 census and 50 in 1861 [born 1811] but she could have a birthday after the date of the census which would make her born in 1810. Many thanks to anybody who can help.  :)

A possibility at High Wycombe, 30 November 1810: Mary Ann Barlow, daughter of Richard and Esther.

Hello Shaun and thank you for your prompt reply.  Was that the only one?  Nothing in 1811? So is Loudwater not a parish of its own but part of High Wycombe?

On the River Wye, downstream from High Wycombe.  The river is full of paper mills.

"Loudwater is an extra parochial area and the closest ecclesiastical parish is High Wycombe."

Just to add that if her age is correct in the 1851 and 1861 censuses then it is 75% likely that Mary Ann Barlow was born in 1810.

The earliest OS maps are 1874, so Loudwater may have acquired its own church meanwhile.

Thank you for all the replies. It certainly seems as if the baptism in 1810 must be the right person.
