Title: Baptism record request
Post by: AussieKate on Tuesday 14 November 17 09:30 GMT (UK)
hi i am looking for an image of the baptism of Louisa Boxall i believe that the date was the 12th April 1807, i think she was illigitimate, on the record on "the genealogist" site it says the surname was Boxall or Hounsum, the church was St Pancras, Chichester, Sussex

Thanks

Kate

I wonder where  "the genealogist"  got their information from, I can't see it on Freereg or FamiySearch.

It must have been a very small place as Benj B was a witness to the Marriage of John NORRELL/Sarah PANNELL 25 Sep 1813.

So later married her in 1832 :)

John NORRELL was buried 8 Aug 1826 age 37

Sarah BRIDGER buried 9 Aug 1853 age 57

Benjamin BRIDGER buried 14 July 1871 age 79
