Hi Tracey, The pilot site at https://www.familysearch.org/ Shows a baptism of this child Robert Gerring Gender: Male Baptism/Christening Date: 21 Oct 1757 Baptism/Christening Place: Coleshill,Berkshire,England Father's Name: Robert Gerring Mother's Name: Elizabeth Indexing Project (Batch) Number: P00882-1 System Origin: England-ODM Source Film Number: 88234 === Robert Gerring spouse: Mary Leaver marriage: 04 Jun 1855 - Great Coxwell,Berkshire,England Robert Gerring spouse: Mary Williams marriage: 23 May 1811 - Shrivenham,Berkshire,England It looks though as if this is the child Robert's marriage to Sarah Godfrey 17 NOV 1783 Coleshill, Berkshire, England.

Dear Jan The incomplete Oxfordshire Baptism Index 1538-1851 has a George LUKER, son of George Thomas and Elizabeth, baptised at Faringdon in 1807. Meanwhile, the Oxfordshire Baptism Index contains a huge number of other LUKER baptisms at Faringdon. The parish registers of Faringdon might contain more details of this baptism.

Hi Paul I am sorry but I have no money. Are any of these records available online?

Hello Gary, Yes the name is used medically as Brad has pointed out, but there is more to this than that one usage. Mellitus was a Saint and Melitus is also used as a Surname and given name http://www.saintmellitushanwell.org.uk/History.html St Mellitus (died 24 April 624) was the first Bishop of London, the third Archbishop of Canterbury. So I would search in Dictionaries of Christian and Surnames and see if you can find others of this name. Do you know if the other names, Sims and Cripps are family names?

My gtgrand uncle (born Driffield ERY in the 1780s) spent most of his working life at Ashdown House,starting as a carpenter and finishing up as steward.   Family legend has it that he married three times.   I know that he married at least twice.   He was a widower when he married Mary Chivers on 18th Aug. 1852 at Faringdon Register office.   He is buried in Uffington Churchyard alongside a g badly eroded but where the word Mary is/was legible. .   I'm looking for any children that he might have fathered.
