Would someome please verify the baptism of Robert Warner 10 July 1748 at Gt Baddow, additionally I am very keen to find out if the mother of Robert is named Jane or Jenny.
The IGI came up with a marriage in 1741 of John Warner & Jane Barker at Chelmsford. Checking the online Chelmsford PRs I found: John Warner of Little Waltham, bach, and Jane Barker of Chelmsford, single woman, were married by licence 22 November 1741. I checked the Chelmsford baptisms 1739 to 1749 hoping to find other children and perhaps verification of the mother's name but none were found.
Robert is my lonnnng sought after ancestor, in reply to a recent post, I was informed that he was baptised at Gt Baddow 10 July 1748 and was the son of John & Jenny Warner. The informant is Canadian and I understand that he in turn received the info from a researcher in USA, since the info is at least third hand, I think it would be prudent to have it verified.
I would be extremely grateful for the verification, I will not be in the UK for at least two years so the suspense would kill me.
Fingers crossed

Hi Findem
Well it's your lucky day and I can verify 100% that the baptism entry for Robert Warner is definitely 10 July 1748 in Great Baddow and his parents are John and Jenny Warner.
Hope this puts you out of your state of suspense!!!

Hi Diblet,
Many thanks for that info, now I have that verification a picture is starting to emerge. In the Chelmsford PRs I found Jenny, daughter of John & Judith Barker baptised 9 March 1717/18, I suspect that the Jane who married John Barker was really Jenny, perhaps the Rector stuffed up. Once I've rounded up the rest of John & Jenny's children next year, I can get really stuck into following up the good leads I have now.
In case anyone else is interested in this line, in the IGI I found the marriage of John Barker and Judith Shippey 18 Nov 1713 at Widford, it looks promising.
Thanks again for the lookup Diblet, Robert Warner bugged me for so many years, Robert married Mary Corwall at Great Wakering, knowing that Mary was born in Kelvedon led me to believe that the Gt Wakering area would be where Robert would hail from, so over the years that's where I've concentrated my searches. I'm really over the moon to have made headway with the Warners.
Regards

Hi again
I'm glad I could help!
Regarding the IGI, it's a useful tool but far from complete. Essex is very patchy indeed.
So, what I'm saying is, don't grab hold of names just because they seem to fit your needs. Much time can be wasted researching up wrong avenues and it's so depressing when you have to delete entire families off your tree!

Hi Diblet,
I certainly wont be "grabbing hold of names", I've witnessed too many errors on the IGI and of course I realise how little of Essex is covered by it, although as you say it is a useful tool, especially for folks like me living in places like Australia.
I will not be doing anything else with the Warner family until I have the rest of John and Jenny's children recorded, I like to use the children's names to check against those of families before and after them, not foolproof but often a good guide. There was a time whenI used the earliest known child to give an indication of the likely year of the parent's marriage, now I use that cautiously since I found in 2004 that one pair of ancestors married a year after the first child was baptised. Strange that no mention of being "baseborn " etc was made in the entry.
I have experienced having to wipe out a couple of families in the middle of a line, fortunately I replaced the earliest of the two with a sibling, following up the sibling led me back into the same line. I realise how lucky I was that very little research time was wasted, in one hour at the ERO in 2006 I had corrected the error. I have to admit that finding the error was pure luck, I was researching another family in another place when I found a stray marriage there, one thing led to another, then I had that sinking feeling in my stomach  
Still, all's well that ends well
Regards
