Hello all,
This is not very clear yet so I am hoping someone will come up with something that may help clarify it so any information on these people would be wonderful.
I have a Sarah Parfitt, sister of Isaac (my GGGG grandfather) who was christened at St. Andrew's Holborn on 7 Aug 1796. Her parents, and therefore his parents, were Isaac Parfitt and Elizabeth.
Now nearly all Parfitts seem to come from the West Country and then I discovered online in "Wells Cathedral: its monumental inscriptions and heraldry: together with the heraldry of the palace, deanery, and vicar's close : with annotations from wills, registers, etc., and illustrations of arms” that Samuel Parfit, of Wells City, metle [sic] man, and Deborah Gray, of St. Andrew, Holborn, London were married in Wells Cathedral. Dates are supplied but in such a jumbled manner it's hard to know what goes with what.
So here was a link between Wells and the very London church where Sarah was christened.
And that's as far as I've got to date.
Brian

I have now found the date of the Parfitt / Gray wedding.
1732 Aug 4 - Samuel Parfit, of Wells City, metle man, and Deborah Gray, of St. Andrew, Holborn, London. Lic.
I wonder if anyone has any more information ANY Parfitts (or Grays) at St. Andrew, Holborn.
Also, where would I find birth / baptismal certificates for people with such early dates?
Thanks,
Brian

St Giles In The Fields, Holborn (not far from St Andrews, Holborn)
"Records brought in from the Lying In Hospital at Endell Street"
The entry is at the top of the page, the last dated entry being 19 Jul 1752
L.H. Ann of John & Ann Parfit
The L.H. signifies Lying in Hospital, the Lying in Hospital records are also available online (I think via "The Genealogist") so it might be worth a search through those for other children. St Giles In The Fields registers are only available at LMA, or, in this case, I've completed the transcript & index for the baptisms in that year.
The date of 19 Jul 1752 means that Ann was born in the months running upto this date as all this date means is that the entries were made into the parish register at the end of that day, the next day appearing in the registers being 20 Jul 1752.
As for finding other entries in this parish register, there are no other Parfit entries from 1750 to 1754, & after 1752 the Lying in Hospital has its own baptismal register.

thank you very much indeed for those.
I'll digest them and see what they leave me with.
Still no nearer to finding out who my Isaac Parfitt is though.
Thanks again
Brian
