Title: Parish Register Lookup: Lacock (St. Cyriac) 1840
Post by: mjashby on Saturday 08 April 17 19:39 BST (UK)
Hoping someone can help with a check of the actual entry in the Parish Register for the following entry taken from FamilySearch:

Name:   Edmund or Edwin Bath
Gender:   Male
Christening Date:   12 Apr 1840
Christening Place:   Laycock, Wiltshire, England
Father's Name:   Holly
Mother's Name:   Ann Bath

Source details: Indexing Project (Batch) Number   C15271-1;   Film Number   : 1279307

There is no entry for the Birth in the GRO Indexes, nor on the WiltshireBMD (Register Office Index) site, so presumably the birth wasn't registered and, unfortunately, I can't obtain a Birth Certificate.

The Wiltshire baptism index has two entries for him, one with the surname Bath and one with Bathe. Both entries have him down as Edmund Holly Bath/Bathe with mother Ann. Mother's occupation is given as "Lewd and disorderly woman"
