I am looking for a baptism of Rebecca Watts d/o of Richard and Sarah Watts Her bd believed to be Sept 1847 I believe her to have been baptized first week of January 1948. I used Ancestry.com and found an entry that I think is her baptism St Marys Baptism Record on page 20 for the entry I want BUT is almost unreadable. On page 20, second entry appears to be the one.

Information Rebecca Watts daughter of Richard and Sarah Watts birth believed to be Fall 1947 St. Marys Islington, Middlesex County Information needed baptism date birth date middle name confirmation that this entry is indeed for Rebecca Watts daughter of Richard and Sarah. Richards occupation was a mason Thank you Don Chinnery Sun City Center FL

Richards occupation was a mason Rebecca Sarah dau of Richard and Sarah WATTS, Mason. I've had a fiddle around with the image and the rest of the entry reads: Bapt Jany 9 1848. Born 18 Sept 1847 This corresponds with the entry below from FreeBMD: Births Sep 1847 Watts Rebecca Westminster 1 388 There can be a difference between the name a child is registered with and the one they are baptised with. My most spectacular one was a child registered as Caroline but who was baptised Rachel and known as the latter for the rest of her life. I have reported it to Ancestry as an Illegible Image (bit of an understatement there methinks! <G>) HTH -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk http://www.savethegurkhas.co.uk/
