Goldings in Halstead

[jibba]

Hi

I'm trying to find a baptism record for my ancestor Sarah Golding, aka Golden, who was born c.1801 in Halstead according to census records.

Despite census records showing several Goldings being born in the Halstead area around the 1800-1820 period, I have not yet been able to link them together.

I have looked at the Halstead registers for Sarah's baptism but I cannot seem to find it there or in any of the neighbouring parishes. Are there any independent chapels in the area I might have missed?

Is there anyone out there that has researched this family that might be able to point me in the right direction?

Do you know who her parents were, also it was common practice in thepast to baptised more than one child at a time so her baptism date could be later

Hi Jolee

No I don't know who her parents were. I looked as far as ~1806 in the Halstead PR's to find Sarah in case she was baptised late, but she was not there.

The only other document I have seen with a Golding name on it is her husband's death certificate, which lists a James Golding who was present at the death. He could be the James Goldng c.1778 who was living in Halstead in the 1841-1851 census', which in turn makes him a likely candidate to be Sarah's father
