ErikaH, wow you have been busy whilst I was typing my previous comment, thank you.

I think the birth cert may prove enlightening.....hope so, anyway ;-) ;-)

ErikaH I think it will just say Elizabeth as mum the same as the baptism record and the address may just be the village. Even if it gave an actual address the name Elizabeth won't help unfortunately.

Chris

ErikaH, now that the GRO is back up and running I've just ordered the birth certificate.

Let us know what it says...........................the baptism record could be wrong

ErkaH will do. I've received a refund for the poor digital copy this morning and should get the full details Thursday or Friday.

Just received the birth certificate, such a shame the digital copy was so poor and missing the important info.

Mum named as Sarah, not Elizabeth as is clearly written in the baptism register.

ErikaH, you were right in that the baptism record could be wrong.

Many thanks to you and ArgyllGran for your replies, it's much appreciated.

Chris

Thanks for letting us know..............glad you got a result

ErikaH, thanks for your help. I'm a little confused tbough. I've come across two baptisms for Sarah with John Felmingham and Elizabeth Say, 1823 and in 1844 when thst Sarah was 10 years old.

In the 1861 Census when Sarah is with Mary, Harriet and Eliza in the workhouse, her age is right for the 1822 birth so not sure about the 10 year old Sarah who was baptised in 1844.

Can't see any baptism in 1844.
Where did you see the "19 year old Sarah who was baptised in 1844" ?

ArgyllGran I'm struggling to find it now. I wish I hadn't deleted it from my tree but I realised there was no point in keeping it. I will keep looking.

Chris

ArgllGran, I've spent many hours looking for it but to no avail. Whatever I found and saved I wish I hadn't deleted it.

I have amended my earlier reply, I must have caught the 9 instead if 0, the age in the record was 10 not 19.

Well I've found where my two dna matches match each other, just not where they match me.
