Looking for Date of Birth - Baptism Darenth, St Margaret of Antioch Kent

[SueChris]

I have a baptism date of 12th August 1821. I am looking for the date of birth for Edward Mercer
Father Thomas Mercer, mother Tryphena Penelope Mercer

Thomas and Tryphena married 1 October 1820 at Kingsdown with Mappiscombe.
Edward was the first born.
Tryphena was a widow and her 1st husband had died 9/5/1819. Her maiden name was Wells, 1st married name was Barton

Thanks

Civil registration was not introduced until 1.7.1837 so no birth certs prior to that date.  Unless the actual birthdate is shown on the baptismal record there is no official way of finding it

Hi, yes I realise there is no birth registration but was wondering if it might be on the baptism record. Thanks

Presumed you were quoting from the baptism record.  Where did you get the date from?

[CaroleW]

From FS - no birthdate

No birth date given on the Baptism entry, just the date of the baptism.

FindMyPast have access to the parish record images.  No birth date shown nor mother's forename of Tryphena, just Penelope.

I have the baptism date from years ago but did not note the source. Appreciate the checks. Thanks
