Hi Mike, Yes, thanks, I have them. It is peculiar. I picked up the last four baptisms from the Mormon film # 1239260 of the bishop's transcripts for the parish of Winterborne Whitchurch, Dorset. However, the BVRI-2 index shows those same baptisms, with the same names and dates, under the parish of Turnworth, which is about 5 miles to the north. Some day, I plan to check the film for the PR in Turnworth, just to verify whether those baptisms are also recorded there. At the moment, it is a mystery to me. That film # 1239260 does not even show Turnworth on its index of contents. My tentative conclusion is that the Mormons entered the wrong parish name in their BVRI-2 index. Cheers! Peter. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Roberts" <mikedrob@btinternet.com> To: <ENG-HAMPSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 5:28 AM Subject: Re: [ENG-HANTS] William Norris ROPER (c1849 - 1896) of Dorset & Hants, England > Hi Peter > You probaly already have these baptisms.This is from Lds > vital records second edition. > ROPER, Mary Fowler Christening > Gender: Female > Christening Date: 7 Mar 1841 Recorded in: Poorstock, Dorset, England > Collection: BTs > Father: Joel ROPER > Mother: Mary > Source: FHL Film 1239224 Dates: 1821 - 1848 > ROPER, John Christening > Gender: Male > Christening Date: 2 Nov 1842 Recorded in: Turnworth, Dorset, England > Collection: BTs > Father: Joel ROPER > Mother: Mary > Source: FHL Film 1239260 Dates: 1827 - 1847 > ROPER, Joseph Fowler Christening > Gender: Male > Christening Date: 16 Aug 1844 Recorded in: Turnworth, Dorset, England > Collection: BTs > Father: Joel ROPER > Mother: Mary > Source: FHL Film 1239260 Dates: 1827 - 1847 > ROPER, William Robert Christening > Gender: Male > Christening Date: 2 Oct 1846 Recorded in: Turnworth, Dorset, England > Collection: BTs > Father: Joel ROPER > Mother: Mary > Source: FHL Film 1239260 Dates: 1827 - 1847 > ROPER, William Morris Christening > Gender: Male > Christening Date: 9 May 1849 Recorded in: Winterborne-Clenston, Dorset, > England > Father: Joel ROPER > Mother: Mary > Source: FHL Film 1239259 Dates: 1849 - 1849 > Vital Records Index - British Isles > > regards > Mike <snip>
