Is 1868-1870 to late for records in Banbury area? Possibly St Mary Banbury?

Looking for Robert Norris b 18 May 1868(bKilburn) and Mary c 1870(Born Neithrop)
Parents Andrew and Mary.

Thank you
Lesanne

Hi Les

How are you - well I hope?

I see a baptism for Robert NORRIS on 30 June 1869 at Christ Church, Banbury. He was s o Andrew & Mary of Cherwell Street, Banbury a Coal Merchant.

I also see possible siblings in the index. Let me know if you want them as well?

Christ Church was demolished sometime after 1967

Hello Nigel,
Yes, not to bad, thanks. Yourself?

Thank you Nig for this. How has it been missed, all these years of threads and 'S Hunts'.
I'm not sure, other than younger Mary, which siblings. I have found 10 so far in census.

I'm hoping to visit ORO in May. Please tell me if I can return this favour.

Kindest regards,
Les

I am good, thank you for asking.

Glad the info was of use and dont ask me how stuff stays hidden for ages then just suddenly pops up and often from where a search started - spooky, its all those rellies teasing us from the other side!!!

In case it is of use your Andrew and Mary lived at 39 Cherwell Street, and they had Robert there and also Eliza Mary who was bapt on 21 Sept 1870 at Christ Church. Andrew was still a coal merchant.

The other 2 baptisms I can see were for children of William and Ida who lived just around the corner in Brittania Road and they baptised Edith Ida born 4 July 1881 and William Frederick born 10 March 1883 in a double service on 1 Nov 1889

William was a Joiner by trade

T ra for now

Thats great, Nig and confirms we have the right Robert. (First time ever!) The family have that addy in 1871.
Not sure on the William but Andrew does have a brother William. One to follow up  ;)

With the new info, birth 18 May 1868 and bapt 30 June 1869, you would expect I could find his birth cert, HA..

Cheerio for now and thank you so much,
Les

Just re-looked at the School Admissions that gave me the birth date for Robert and it doesn't say a birth place of Kilburn. Kilburn is on all census.
