Title: Residing at?
Post by: Yvonne Donnellon on Monday 24 May 21 13:14 BST (UK)
Hi

I have the parents and child's names plus the dates but can anyone make out the address?

Many thanks in advance.

I can read some of it but the town, parish or even county would help.

Sorry, it will likely be located in Liverpool city centre.

I have got possible *inson St so far...something like Mallinson or Wilkinson?

The loop of the 'h' in Hughes obscures it somewhat.

I think it looks more like th than ll.  Possibly Mathieson St. (South?) Cleavers.  But I can't spot it on a gazetteer or map.

Weirdly, this child Thomas appears to have been baptised twice, I just found the 1st one which took place in 1810. I think this is Watkinson St?

Why 2 baptisms?

What is the date of the other baptism? I have found another record of the same baptism of 17 Jan 1810. Ancestry  England & Wales, Non-Conformist and Non-Parochial Registers, 1567-1936

ADDED: I did find another baptism of a Thomas Hughes son of Thomas & Elizabeth Hughes but at Manchester Cathedral on 10 April 1810 & this child was born 6 Dec 1809, not 29th Dec as in baptism in question.

I have Date of Birth - 9th Dec 1809 , the baptism showing this DOB was on 17 January 1813 • Pitt Street Welsh Chapel, Liverpool. That's the image in the first post.


Then when I was looking for more children, I found a second record on for a baptism on the 7th Jan 1810. This image is clearer, you can read Watkinson street and the father's occupation as a lath cleaver. However this has the 29th December 1809 as the date of birth.

A correction to the records or perhaps a transcription error?

As far as I can see, in your original image the date of birth is 29 Dec 1809 & date baptism is 17 Jan 1810.....

Here is the other record of same baptism, both dates are the same. It is definitely 17 Jan NOT 7 Jan.

However.... over on findmypast is an image wth different dates - birth 23 Dec 1809 & baptism 7 Feb 1810 Thomas still a lath cleaver, Elizabeth's maiden name Peaton rather than Eaton  ??? I suspect this is something like a Bishop's Transcript that was transcribed incorrectly in the first place.

Is there a Guinness world record for most baptised child?

More likely one for the most mis-transcribed record..... ;D
