Many years ago I collected my 2 x GGF from the Hampstead Norris register on microfilm at berks record office as: George Smith base born 31-12-1813 of Mari(squiggle) and William Brooks.
Revisiting his record (for the umpteenth time) I see that IGI shows a very similar looking birth and baptism (George Brooks born 31-12-1812 of William and Mary), but no mention of "my" George Smith. IGI also show a reasonable set of children of William and Mary where my 1813 birth fits better.
I have checked the film indexes as well as the search results and they are all self-consistent.
I have tried (without success) to find a previous RootsChat post I may have made on this birth
*Would it be possible for someone to spare a few minutes next time they are in BRO to check the register entries relating to 31 dec 1812 and 31-dec-1813 and let me know what they have to say about George Brooks or George Smith?
Thankyou,
peter
