Hello My GG-Grandfather Jesse Kay was born in Halliwell abt. 1814/15, I have found an entry in the IGI for a Jesse Kay chr. 20 August 1815 Deane by Bolton (Father: James Kay, Mother: Betty) but this is for a female with a query against this fact. I have looked at the film of this index transcription and found that indeed it is for a d (daughter) but hoping this has been transcribed wrong from the original entry I am asking if someone could possibly help me. I Thank you for your time in advance and in anticipation of an answer. Jannine Davies Taranaki, NEW ZEALAND -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Hi Jannine, The CD 'St Mary's Deane Parish Church Baptisms 1813 to 1886' transcribed by the Bolton & District Family History Society, has the following entry Kay, Jesse, 20/08/1815, Son, Jas & Betty, Halliwell, Miner This fits with your expectation and, although it's still not the primary source, I think it's fairly good evidence, particularly given the male spelling of the name (as opposed to the female Jessie).
