Title: Great Bedwyn Parish Records - CARR
Post by: fuchsiamagic on Sunday 22 August 04 18:35 BST (UK)

I am hoping that some kind person will have a look through the parish register for Great Bedwyn next time they are at the record office.

I am looking for the birth/baptism of John Carr who was born there somewhere between 1795 and 1802. According to census returns, the most likely date is 1798.

Many thanks in anticipation.
Chris.

Hi Chris,
This is from the BRVI. I do not know the registration districts for Wiltshire but looking on the map it is possible that Great Bedwyn
could come under Trowbridge. The address of the Trowbridge Register office should you wish to check it out is:

Wiltshire and Swindon Record Office,
Libraries HQ
Bythesea Road,
Trowbridge,
Wiltshire.
BA14 8BS

Tel 01225 713709

Hope this may help. Regards, Frances

CARR, John Christening JUL 1798 Trowbridge, Wiltshire England

Thanks Frances. Trowbridge is too far for me to travel. The IGI gives a date of 18 Jun 1798 at Great Bedwyn. I just wanted to confirm it as last time someone checked the PR for me, they couldn't find it...
