Unless Frederic Peter BARTRAM chr 1847 was a very late christening, he'd have been much too young. But a late christening was possible. Seeing that he was one of three christened that year, one possible scenario is that the vicar found that the oldest siblings of a new infant BARTRAM were unbaptised, & insisted on them being done in a job lot. My own family has a few bulk christenings in it. But looking at the 1841 Oxfordshire census, the only BARTRAMs are In Islip - Benjamin 25 Jane 20 Ellen 6 In Oxford St Thomas Mary 50 In Oxford St Ebbes Hester 15 Henry 12 Robert BERTRAM 25 Where are the Abingdon lot?

All I know about him is that he was born around 1829 in Oxford. He managed the Kentish Faversham mercury between 1860 and 1863, giving up its management due to ill-health. He probably earlier was involved in newspaper production. >> >> Richard Goulden >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >> Oxfordshire FHS "wills library" is at http://wills.oxfordshirefhs.org.uk/ , >> with references to 47,347 people and 3,980 testators.
