To add to my earlier posting: it would perhaps be more helpful if I listed the names of the missing rather than leaving you wondering whether to ask. These are all names that ought to appear on IGI batch number C016553 between 1813 and 1828 – the period I’ve so far managed to cover. I am grateful to Polly Ruberry for telling me something I didn’t know, namely that that batch was made up from the BTs rather than from the parish registers. A careless clerk’s hands might be at work here … but why so many JONESes and POWELLs? Anyway here are the names and baptismal dates of the missing ones. I have the parents’ details if anyone wants them. JONES: Joseph 6 Apr 1813, Mary 5 May 1816, William 6 Jan 1817, Ann 7 Apr 1817, William 27 Apr 1817, Thomas 6 Jan 1819, Timothy 13 May 1819, Sarah 18 Jun 1820, Elizabeth 8 Oct 1820, George 18 Jan 1822, William 3 Nov 1822, Charlotte 6 Jan 1823, Francis 16 Mar 1823, John Charles 25 Sep 1823, George 27 Jun 1824, Elizabeth 29 Sep 1824, James 21 Nov 1824, Charles 6 Dec 1825, Phoebe 16 Sep 1826, William Edward 18 Oct 1826, Maria 2 Jan 1827, Thomas 28 Jan 1827, Samuel 20 May 1827, Susanna 6 Aug 1827, Richard 20 Sep 1827, and finally Eliza 3 Apr 1827 POWELL: John 11 Mar 1813, Robert 9 Apr 1813, William 23 Jul 1815, Robert 9 Apr 1815, William 23 Jul 1815, Sara Llewellin 6 Oct 1815, Henry 7 Apr 1817, Rebecca 1 Feb 1818, Lydia 12 Sep 1819, William 10 Sep 1819, Henry Edward 29 Sep 1822, and finally Matilda and Frederick both on 21 Feb 1825 GOODMAN (every single one missing): James 2 May 1813, Elizabeth 26 May 1813, John Carver 2 Jul 1815, Francis 27 Mar 1817, and Ann 31 Aug 1818 (just two sets of parents there) The others I’ve noted are the odd one or two along the way. I think I recorded them all on a separate pad as I went along but could only be sure by checking my computer record against my IGI print-out and that would be a pain, I’m afraid: Maria APPERLEY 30 Nov 1817, Richard BAYLEY 24 Jul 1814, William BROWN 19 Jan 1817, Elizabeth BROWN 21 Oct 1819, Richard BRYAN 10 Aug 1814, William BRYAN 24 Mar 1816, Mary Ann CARVER 28 Sep 1817, Elizabeth DALLEY 25 Jul 1819, and Mary Anne LINK 26 Oct 1823. There’s a fair sprinkling of JONESes and POWELLs later in this particular IGI batch. I’ll let you know whether the later years’ list is complete when I get round to that part of the registers. (That might take a little time: it’s hard work!) I hope this helps someone. Brian Gange -------------------- bgange@netcomuk.co.uk In Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire
