I am looking for a Baptism of a William Davy c1819 says born in Syleham (Various spellings') found in different census.

I could be suffering from a retired decease, called memory blockage. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gogogadgetlegs,

I see your request for a baptism lookup has been posted in the "Completed" lookup requests forum and may not be seen by many members. I would suggest you contact the moderator and ask them to transfer it to the Lookup Request forum.

Having said that I see on Ancestry.co.uk there is a family tree  who has listed William Davy as bapt./Born 24-2-1818 in Syleham but no parents  listed. He married 20-6-1854 Mary Coates in Long Riston, Yorkshire.

Another tree lists the same birth/bapt. date but with parents as
Thomas Davy (1795 Wickham Skeith-1868) and Sarah Ann Lawrence (1791 Needham, Norfolk-1843). If these entries are correct then in Wickham Skeith,  there is a birth of Thomas Davy on 28-3-1795 and baptism the following day the s/o Elizabeth Davy - no father mentioned so presume he was illegitimate.

Hope this helps.
