Hello Some time ago I hit a brick wall about 1776 with my research of my CAKEBREAD ancestors due to the paucity of baptism records of the name in Bloxham where the family lived for several generations. By studying lists of Burials and Marriages there are at least 20 male CAKEBREADs whose baptisms do not appear in Bloxham Parish records, nor those of the non-conformist churches nearby. The "empty" period is prior to 1790 when baptisms began appearing at Bloxham and Milton Presbyterian Chapel. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding this ? The marriages and burials were still taking place in the Parish Church but where were the baptisms or did they just not bother ? I have not yet checked Poor law returns. Are any available for Bloxham? Any comments would be welcome.Dennis
