Something's Wrong-Can Someone Check?
« on: Thursday 19 April 18 14:28 BST (UK) »
I appear to have written down some duff info from some ancestry searches awhile back, can someone just do a quick check for me? All I'm looking for is the church where any of these were baptised (all Cooper surname):
Phoebe 7th Sept 1806
Maria 19th Jun 1808
James 9th Jun 1811
John 31st July 1814

I don't want any actual images or anything, just the name of the church please. It will be in Paddington, London.

St James Paddington
John Cooper 31 July 1814
parents: Joseph and Patience
John's occupation: Warfinger

Other baptisms are too early for this record set but may be elsewhere.  :)

I'm confused now. That's what I have in my notes but reading today it says St James was built mid 19th century and St Mary's is the parish church for Paddington in this period. I'm making a fool of myself somewhere along the line.

So perhaps only the current building dates to the mid 19th century then. You can stare at this stuff for too long, I swear.

Ancestry seem to have images of the records for St James from 1600s to 1812 in one set of 283 images (each image double page of register) Must be several record books making up the set. They only seem to have burials for 1790 - 1812 for St Marys Paddington Green. Unfortunately there is no scan of the front any books which would give actual church dedication. I suspect that when the new parish church was built, the registers transferred and the older records were labelled as St J when the event actually happened in St M.
Looking at the later set (1813 and later), the set recorded as St J looks complete. Those recorded as St M are registers starting at 1832 for baptisms and of baptisms in St Johns Chapel in the parish of St Mary's Paddington.

Sussex: Goodyer, Christopher, Trevatt
Lanark: Scott (soldier went to Jersey CI)
Jersey: Fowler, Huelin, Scott
