Peter There are no Bettles in the Milton Ernest PR up to 1812. I can check the microfilche at the Archives next time I go. I suspect it is valid, as Sarah Bettles married Richard White in ME on 19 Sept 1838, extracted entry on IGI, which states her father as Robert. . As an aside; Richard White (1817) son of Richard White (1771) & Mary Woods; & father Richard had an older sister Elizabeth (1764) who was 2nd wife to my gt-gt-gt grandfather Thomas Partridge cheers John. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Booth" <pbo08596@bigpond.net.au> To: <bedford@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2010 12:00 PM Subject: [BDF] Sarah or Sally BETTLES - ch 1818 Milton Ernest > > IGI has a batch record I036410 for the above christening to parents > Robert Bettles & Martha. > > What is strange is that there in no source information other than the > batch number.
