Baptised or buried?
« on: Tuesday 28 August 18 21:13 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for Sarah James who was married in Wistanstow in 1754. 

I've found this transcribed entry in http://www.melocki.org.uk/salop/Wistanstow.html
1730/1  Mar. 24. Sarah, d. of Thomas James, of Whittingslow & Mary ... bur.

But there's no corresponding baptism, so I'm wondering if it could be a mistranscription and this is actually a baptism.  This Sarah would tick all the boxes, and her siblings fit the family name patterns.

I see that F.M.P. has an image for this entry - does anyone know if this comes from the PR or the BTs?  I don't have a subscription at the moment so can't take a look.  Wouldn't mind paying for a month's access but that option doesn't seem to be on offer now.  :(

Am I right in thinking that the PRs are at Shrewsbury and the BTs at Hereford RO?  Not that I'm likely to get to either very soon.

Shropshire Baptisms

image says 24 Baptised Sarah daughter of Thomas James of Whittingslow and Mary, his wife

Baptisms, burials & marriages are all listed together instead of seperately on the image.
