Title: James Moore born 1803, Highway
Post by: MacGrigor on Tuesday 08 May 18 20:24 BST (UK)

Hello,

James was christened on the 10th of April 1803 at Highway, to Mary Moore. Can anyone look up the record? Is he illegitimate? Is there anything on Mary?

I'd appreciate any help!

Adam

Hi Adam,

According to the transcripts he is recorded as; bbs  of Mary (base-born son). In fact I've looked at the original register and that is all that is recorded.

I don't know where Mary came from as there are no baptisms  for any Mary Moore or More  in Highway.

Thanks! That at least confirms he was illegitimate.
