Title: Hesketh - baptism 1859-60 Torquay
Post by: fairlane on Saturday 24 April 21 16:04 BST (UK)
I've searched and cannot find where the registers for St Saviour, Tormoham are kept. Can anyone tell me please? From somewhere quite a while ago (before I started making sure I kept my sources) I found a reference that Winifred Bamford Hesketh was baptised at Torre, Torquay. She was born in Tormoham in April 1859 and I'm looking for a baptism.

Baptism date   02 Jun 1859
Father: Robert

More info on the image but don't (please) ask me!

Maureen you are a star!  I've looked at all permutations except for Winifred with just Bamford as surname. Straight to it as I've been a subscriber of FindMyPast for years so I've now got all the details. I'm thrilled.
