Hello Fellow Members I - and others - have been searching for the baptism of my 3xGreat Grandfather, Oliver WANSTALL, but without success. In the 1841 Census for Birchington (3, Brunswick Place: HO107/465/7/24/10), and also in the 1851 Census (Birchington Street: HO 107/1629/58/8), he gave his place of birth as Hoath; his stated age indicated a birth year of around 1779. He was a cordwainer and married Sarah HOLNESS of Chislet at the Church of the Holy Cross, Hoath on 5 Nov 1803; he died on 13 Feb 1853 and was buried at Birchington on 18 Feb 1853. According to the gravestone he was then aged 72. His grandson, Francis James WANSTALL became a Blacksmith and married Bennett BETTSWORTH; they were my maternal grandmother's parents but, naturally, both died long before I was born in 1921. Of course, it is possible that he was given a different Christian name at Baptism but was thereafter known as Oliver (it has been known to happen!). Has anyone come across the baptism of this elusive ancestor? If anyone is interested in this particular family I should be very pleased to hear from you - apart, of course, from those with whom I am already in contact and who have been most helpful. John ROGERS
