Baptist family « on: Sunday 12 March 06 23:06 GMT (UK) »
Could anyone help with any information re the following:
FREDERICK JAMES BAPTIST (No dates, or any other info.) married EMMA EVELEIGH (again, no further info>)
child by marriage
FREDERICK JAMES BAPTIST born 1902 in London (?) Eng. He used to mention ELY as the place he lived. (He migrated to Australia in 1923 on the P.O. Branch Service Steam Ship "Baradine". He married in Australia and had a family of 13 children.
I can't find anything about any Frederick Baptist but the name Frederick BATISTE does show up in the Channel Islands. May be a red herring though.
Possibly John/Joseph Baptist was his stepfather? Where did your information about his birth/parents come from - if it's death records for example the family could have mixed together 'named after his father' (Frederick James ) with the last name of his stepfather (Baptist) and come to the obvious conclusion...
