Would it be possible to find a christening for Henry Cole in St Peter Hereford, born 1870, parents are Samuel and Margaret, married in 1862 Four of his siblings are on the IGI (William 1863, Fanny 1865, Alice 1867 and Alfred 1874) Don't think there were any more unless they died young Funny how a lot of the batch christenings on the IGI are incomplete and it's always the key ones that are missing Thanks SC

perhaps Henry was baptised at a different church? Some of my ancestors had the occasional child christened at the local non-conformist chapel! Might be worth checking those out if Henry doesn't turn up in St Peters?
You or your researcher will have to go to Hereford Archives to check the parish registers for St Peters.
I guess that non-conformist records could be a possibility However I will hope that someone can possibly come up with an answer for St Peter's
He's not my main line so I'm afraid it certainly wouldn't be top priority for me to employ a researcher to search the Archives, I just don't like loose ends!
Many thanks for checking for Henry's christening record As you say the entry on the IGI has no source and somehow I hadn't found that one before anyway But - a quick check on Free BMD shows that the only birth for a Henry Cole in Hereford between 1869 and 1871 is Sep 1870 which is the one I found and would correspond with the date on the IGI entry so I think it could well be the one I'm looking for - if so, it shows a spouse as well
Thanks for your help SC
