Devon / finding sibling born/died 1945
« on: Sunday 14 August 05 14:29 BST (UK)  »
hi,
can anyone help with a suggestion as how i could find out the following.
my dad b. 1947 had a sister that was born in 1945, don't know month.she died at 10days old.as far as we know she was buried in the local church yard( cheriton fitzpaine nr.crediton)but there is no  stone so can't check that way.
i'm assuming that to be buried there she would have had to be christened,which in turn should mean a record of birth and death as well.
wondering if anyone could look this up for me or have suggestions.

parents names are: elsie martin, nee doughty b. 30-04-1910 kent
reginald martin b. 24-10-1909 cheriton fitzpaine.
daughter born 1945 cheriton fitzpaine died at 10 days old buried cheriton fitzpaine church.

thanks sharon

looking for:
robert martin b.1799 broadhembury married(abt 27-07-1827 feniton) sarah bambury b.1807 in payhembury.
really trying to find out exactly how many children they had.

i have a relative called thomasina ( tamazin) born 27-09-1775 margate, she married a thomas benskin on 04-11-1798 at st.johns, margate.
problem is st.johns ,margate baptism records say parents are jeremiah doughty and mary marbrook ( the line i'm following)
