Some times people were taken back to their parents home town for christenings etc, someone else is having the same problem at the minute, baptised in one place but born and lived somewhere else, very odd, mind you I always take my children back to Ireland to be christened. Ciara |

In Suffolk I was looking for Joseph Adams born about 1792. I always thought he would be born in Little Glemham where he raised his family there is even a marriage for a John adams in 1790 but no sign of his baptism I checked the 5 parishes ajoining Little Glemham and no joy! I ordered his 3rd marriage certificate(1837) and - no fathers name just labourer. This is the second time I have checked the register for him! In Stansted Mountfitchet - same problem. this time Ambrose Rosebrook in the early 1800's. Marriages just before for men with Ambrose in their name - but no baptism for Ambrose. I know some were baptised in non-conformist church they are on the LDS site - but he is not there- so what do I do now? I have recently done 2 look ups for people in Norfolk with the same problem - not baptised where they say they were born. Thanks for reading this (sorry it is so long!) Any advice please? Alice P.S. I did trace another branch back to 1750 so it wasn't a totally wasted day! |

I visited Saffron Walden and Bury St. Edmunds today to look at parish registers and have hit a brick wall with two branches of my family for the same reason. See below |
