Title: Brampton Abbotts / Foy Look up request - baptisms 1914-1917
Post by: sophiewilliams on Friday 04 March 16 19:31 GMT (UK)
Hello

I wonder if anyone would have access to the above records.  If not, I guess a trip to the records office is required!

Thanks for reading

Sophie

Well Doran.....it's like this.  My grandmother, Kathleen, was born in Hole in the Wall, which is in the parish of Foy? She had no birth certificate because, long story short, her mother was married, but my grandma wasn't the baby of her husband :o.  She had Kathleen on her own, never even registered her.

A christening might be our hope of finding out - long shot - who her dad was.

Her name was Kathleen Bick, she was born on 6th June 1914.  Maybe she was christened straight away, maybe not.  Her mum was Alice Bick, nee Goode, herself of Brampton Abbotts and Foy.

Thanks for your interest!

Thank you for taking the time to look, I do appreciate it.   :)

Where did you look if you don't mind me asking as I can't find Herefordshire baptisms online?  I'm wondering if How Caple might be an option.......

Kind regards

It my need a bit of a rethink, but have you seen the birth registered in Ledbury June quarter 1915, for a Kathleen Davis, with mothers maiden name Goode.  6a 786,

This ought to be the child of a marriage in 1908 of a Lily Alice Goode married Davis, but strange things can happen, Ledbury being very close to Berrow,from your other posts.

Bad morning, the marriage was 1906, not 1908, and the bride is Lucy Alice Goode, not Lily.

I cannot find a birth for a suitable Lucy Alice good in the area.

A trip to records office confirmed no baptisms in and around Foy, so not only no birth certificate but no christening, the price of being illegitimate! :(
