Thatcham Parish Register Look Up Request - HEAD Family
« on: Tuesday 05 July 16 22:27 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I have the following information from the Ancestry website, but as this gets to there from the IGI (whose accuracy is problematic), I was wondering if anyone with access to the parish register would check the following information for me?

I have the children of Henry HEAD and Elizabeth BASTIN as follows:

Sarah Jane/Ann - bap. 15 Mar 1846 bur. 23 May 1847
James Henry - bap. 29 Aug 1847
Lucy Ann - bap. 2 Sep 1849
William Edward - bap. 6 Feb 1851 bur. 24 Feb 1876
George - born abt 1853 (unable to locate baptismal record)
Mary Ann - bap. 6 Apr 1856

Also,

Henry Head's parents also had a few children there.  They are called Joseph and Ann (although I have seen her name written as Nancy and Hanah too).  Can the following be checked if possible:

Jane HEAD born around 1814 (cant find baptismal record, but believe if is in Thatcham).
James Archer HEAD bap. 9 Apr 1819
John HEAD bap. 13 Feb 1825

Any missing children and other information about this family that is in the parish register would also be gratefully received.

Thanks

Theresa

Hi Theresa,

I don't have any records of marriages for Thatcham so can't help in finding Henry Head and Elizabeth Bastin's marriage.

Have you been to the FamilySearch.org site? They have some records for Thatcham here;
http://www.archersoftware.co.uk/igi/fs-brk.htm


Using Anc...y I found the 1881 census for a Henry Head &  Elizabeth living in Thatcham indicating both were born in Kingsclere, Hants just over the border from Berks

Just to say that the Ancestry records are from LDS film 1040692 which is a Microfilm of original records in the Berkshire County Record Office, Reading so it's not as though they're completely made up
