 Hi everyone...and before i begin a big big thank you to DAVE who has supplied me with the first positive lead in putting a big whole through one of my very thick brick walls.  Dave supplied me with some baptisim info of my Henry Musselwhite in 1851 showing that one was reg showing son of Charlotte and two years earlier 1849 Mary Ann daughter of Charlotte. Could i just ask DAVE or anyone else if it is a normal occurance to just show the mothers name on baptisim details or would there have been a reason behind it....like her not being married and her maiden name was Musselwhite. In 1858 a Charlotte Musselwhite dies in Alderbury and if this was her would mean the children were only 7 and 9. It could also be why when i've been looking for Henry in the 61 and 71 census's he is missing....here i go again ...off on another trail....and  before i go 'DAVE' thanks again your a little star!!

                       best wishes cheryle.f

Hi Cheryle.f

On your question about just mother's name on baptism records - I think I've only ever seen it where the child was illegitimate. Even if the father is dead, he's usually included in the record. From 1813, the form for entering baptisms was standardised and doesn't give a lot of scope for extra information, although sometimes the priest puts something like 'single woman' in the column for father's occupation, and that makes it a bit clearer.

Good luck with your search - let us know if we can help with anything else ......
