Help needed - Cossington 1744 baptism details
« on: Wednesday 19 February 14 21:34 GMT (UK) »
Hi all, have found transcript of a baptism in Cossington date 23 April 1744.  Details are William - father William Day - mother Anna?

Both FreeReg & Somerset OPC have transcribed Anna? with the question mark.  I cannot find any likely marriage for a William & Anna, so suspected she might be Hannah or Annabel or Susannah or Rosanna or similiar, still with no joy.

So has anyone any ideas on how to double-check what Anna's name is in the parish registers, without going to records office?  All ideas welcomed.  Thanks, TonyR.

Ask the Somerset Heritage Centre to send you a photocopy or image of the original page. As you know the date I expect the charge will be quite small.
