Westmorland Lookup Requests / Re: Kendal record office lookup please
« on: Tuesday 03 February 15 17:59 GMT (UK) »
Thank you all again for your helpful comments and suggestions. I actually live in Preston so that is the obvious place to go. I looked at a transcription of the parish registers at Kendal first and then at the Bishop's Transcript films there. The suggestion about a post-mortem baptism is an interesting one and so I think I need to widen the date period. What excited me about this reference is that the original date 1794 fits exactly with the suggested date of Emanuel Hutchinson as given in the 19th century censuses. I also agree that the name 'Theobalds' (with an s) is probably the name of his father, as it is the surname version. We shall see! Many thanks for your interest.
