I lost a Christening... *COMPLETED*
« on: Sunday 25 August 13 14:24 BST (UK) »
Many years ago, when I was new to Family History, I bought a short sub on UK Genealogy Online and found a possible christening for my 4xgt grandfather. I transcribed it and when I went back to look at it again, I couldn't find it  ??? and it hasn't been seen since  :'(

It said: James GRIFFITHS, 10th May 1805, Mydrim, birth 25th May "Spurious" Hester EVANS by William GRIFFITHS.

This is made all the more annoying by the fact that his father turned out to be called William. The fact that the birth date is apparently after the christening date could well mean he was born at least a year before the christening and his average date averages at 1802 from census...

I don't know if anyone can help?  :(

Thanks all.

Ah, thanks, you found it? Where did you see it? Is it a transcription or an original image?

Is there any indication of whether it was normal church records or nonconformist or anything?

Thanks again :) It's nice to know I didn't dream it or something  ;D
