Hi! If anybody with access to the St. Philip's registers would be able to verify any further information in the following entry (obtained via FamilySearch), that would be much appreciated!

Thomas BROWN - born 19-06-1821, baptised 28-12-1821
Father: William BROWN

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks for the prompt response, Carol. I don't suppose they recorded the father's occupations in the baptism records at St. Philip's at that time, did they? I only have access to transcripts rather than images...

Hi

There wasn't an image for the one I was looking at either.  You might be better putting a new request on the Warwickshire page as someone may have more information and is more likely to see your request as this is an old thread.

Brill, thanks Carol.

Father is noted as school master. Can't make Thomas's second name out, looks like Sonaz(?!!!) They lived on Edmund St.Image is on Ancestry.

Thanks, Parmesan - I looked again on Ancestry with a broader search and found it (surname was transcribed as 'Rown'). I think that's where it says "Thomas, son of", rather than a middle name - but yes, his Dad's occupation is there, which is what I needed to confirm it!

Thanks for looking, much appreciated. Reminds me that I need to try broader searches sometimes, to account for transcription errors...!

Son of!

of course doh!  Glad you found it. I found it by browsing.

He may have worked at the Bluecoat School at the rear of St. Phillip's.
