Hi everyone, I am trying to find a baptism for Alicia LEY who married Johannis CHURCH on 21 Oct 1666 in Eaton Socon. There are LEY/LEE baptisms in Eaton Socon but there is none for Alicia. I would assume she is connected to this family but I can't find her. Does anyone know of a baptism for her or have any advice about where her baptism may be? Thanks for your help, Donna

Donna, Unfortunately they are all written in latin and record only the father's name. So it looks pretty tough. If you go to the Hugh Wallis site you can check the batches. All the christenings seem to have father's name John so there seems to be only one family bearing children around that time. In the marriages there is a Maria about 1661 who could be a sister. Perhaps somebody will be able to look at original PR's. Hope they read latin Peter Donna Bailey wrote I am trying to find a baptism for Alicia LEY who married Johannis CHURCH on 21 Oct 1666 in Eaton Socon.

There were only 4 baptisms in Eaton Socon in 1646 according to the IGI, as opposed to between 20 and 44 in the other years 1642-8. Many parish registers are deficient in the Civil War years and in particular the Commonwealth years from 1849 onwards. It would be worthwhile checking the microfilm of the Bishop's Trancript to see if 1646 is covered David --- En date de : Lun 7.7.08, Peter Booth <[email protected]> a écrit : > De: Peter Booth <[email protected]> > Objet: Re: [BDF] Alicia LEY b.c.1640 from Eaton Socon > À: [email protected] > Date: Lundi 7 Juillet 2008, 3h24 > Donna, > > Unfortunately they are all written in latin and record > only the father's > name.

Hello Donna I have re-checked the parish registers and found that Mary Church was baptised on 6 September 1667, daughter of John. The William Day I mentioned earlier, shown as the son of Thomas Day and Betsey Smith in your list, is shown in the IGI as the son of Thomas Day and Catherine. Sun shines here, but grey clouds surround us. Regards Roy
