Hello Susan, You'd seem to've got the date of 1844s Easter Sunday already without having to look in the 'Odd' pages of an old Church of England Prayer Book - April 7 it was... As for Where - that's another story. Albany Terrace was within the Township of The Tything of Whistones - a subdivision of Claines Parish - so if his parents followed the Official Rules (but not many did) then Claines is your place. EXCEPT... The *nearest* place licensed for CofE Baptisms was St Oswalds Hospital (*not* the sort of hospital we have today - it was an almshouse) followed by St George's Chapel (whose registers were in any case combined with Claines until c.1862). And there were all the other CofE churches within the City listed by Liz, one of which might have had a Parson the parents happened to like. But if they *weren't* CofE then the field is fairly open - and not all of their registers have survived :-( HTH Gus ----- Original Message ----- From: trevor hackett <trevor.hackett@ntlworld.com> To: <ENG-WORCESTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 6:40 PM Subject: [WOR] Baptism - Easter Sunday 1844 > My gt grandfather - John HOLDEN was born 1st February 1844 in Albany Terrace, Worcester and in a book he wrote he stated that he was baptised on the Easter Sunday of that year. > > Could sks please tell me where I would find a calendar that would give me the date of Easter Sunday in 1844 and also what possible parishes would he have been baptised in? > > Many thanks, > Susan > > > > > Susan Hackett > > > ==== ENG-WORCESTER Mailing List ==== > FreeREG Project: parish register database > http://freereg.rootsweb.com > > UK Census on-line > http://freecen.rootsweb.com/ > http://www.worcestershiresurnames.co.uk/ > >
