The basic information for this entry is in the IGI, but the original entry in the parish register is full of so much information that I thought I would post it here: From St. Martins Church in the Parish of Windermere, Westmoreland... GEORGE BALMER: Baptized on Sunday the 3rd day of January 1778 (this is what the entry says, but I think it should be 1779 as the year just began and the following entries are January 1779). Father: John Balmer of Applethwaite, husbandman, Son of John Balmer of Dent, husbandman by Anne his wife daughter of John Wilson of Dent, waller. Mother: Betty, daughter of John Noble by Grace. _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows Mobile brings your life together—at home, work, or on the go. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093182mrt/direct/01/
