I have an unwanted birth certificate -

Frederick Ingram, male, 1902, father William, mother Claire.

Please contact me if this is useful to anyone.    Osborn.

Thanks Nigel -  Fred Baptist sailed to Australia on the "Baradine" in 1923.  He was 21 years of age (stated on his P.& O. passengers ticket No. 1304) and paid 33 pound.

He married Dora Lillian Nellie MITCHELL in Melbourne in June 1927.  They had 13 children (none of whom can give any further details re his life before he came to Australia).
He died in Melbourne, 1982.
He always used the name Frederick James Baptist.
On his marriage cert. he (or the registrar) lists his parents as:
Father - Frederick James Baptist
Mother - Emma Eveleigh.

I think that you may have another F.J. Baptist.

My Frederick James Baptist migrated to Australia in 1923.

He returned to England in 1979 for a holiday only.

1901 census
Emma Eveleigh, 39 servant, b. Tower Hill
Fred Ingram, 16, lodger
living with the Weeks family in St. George Hanover Square (Pimlico)

Marriage 28 Oct 1906
Joseph BAPTIST, 30, bachelor, postal servant, 21/22 block sutton street, Goswell Road.
Emma EVELEIGH, 34, spinster, 18/22 block sutton st, Goswell Road.

1911 census
Rooms two.  21/2 block Sutton Street

Emma BAPTIST, wife, 43, M 10 yr., b. Tower Hill
Fred BAPTIST, son, 9, b. Pimlico.

The presence of Fred Ingram may be a co-incidence.  Emma ws born in 1861 although she became increasingly dodgy about her age!

I cannot find any reference to Fred's birth. ( The only date I have is  12 Mar. 1902. )    CAN ANYONE ELSE ??

I do not need to know about Joseph Baptist's and Emma Eveleigh's forebears who are discussed here:

Thanks for that Richard.  What do you suggest I do now?  Will I just accept that Fred only knew Joseph as his father/stepfather or can you suggest ANYTHING else I should do?
