St Andrews Holborn baptism Lookup please

[avidt]

Hi

Could some kind person do a lookup for me please for a baptism on 19/11/732 for a Matthew Biddle son of Matthew Biddle and Sarah. They had 3 other children baptised in Gloucestershire and I am trying to find proof that thus is is the missing link I am looking for. The date is right and all the names are right.

Many thanks

Unfortunately, Ancestry have missed a page or two in their filming. There are no baptisms showing between 7 November 1732 and 1 December 1732.

Hi Bookbox

Thanks for your reply, I will just have to hope that one of the other sites have that page.

Kiobd Regards

I'm afraid they won't have the image, only a transcript. LMA's partnership is with Ancestry.

Provided the actual register is complete and the error is Ancestry’s, I think you have 3 options:

(1) Visit LMA and view their film (or get someone to go on your behalf) – remembering that LMA’s annual 2-week closure starts after 2 November.

(2) Visit a LDS Family History Center (or affiliate library) and view the LDS film instead.

(3) Ask LMA to supply a printout of the entry from their microfilm (£8.75) – see the very bottom of this page - https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/london-metropolitan-archives/visitor-information/Pages/microfilming.aspx.

Bear in mind there isn't much extra information in this register, other than the street names. What are you hoping to find?

Hi

I am hoping to find that they were visiting from Wooton under Edge in Gloucestrshire, The Biddles were lawyers so they may have been in London  when Matthew was born.

Kind Regards

It’s hard to know if you’d find that information in this particular register. A quick look at entries in adjacent pages shows mainly street addresses (in or near Holborn), and an occasional date of birth. So if they were visiting from Gloucestershire you might just get the London address where they were staying at the time. A bit of a gamble.

Hi Bookbox

Worth taking I will pop up to LMa and SOG next week and have a look.
