Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Baptism Amendment Hard to Read

I agree - I think the godfather is meant to be Richard and wrong amendment was made. I still have no idea who Richard Barrett and Julia Barrett are. Looks like new possible ancestors!

It's a bit weird - the father should be William. The mother is correct - Mary Donovan. Got me scratching my head a bit! John Henry's older brother has William as his father and the same for all John Henry's younger siblings. Possibly an error?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Baptism Amendment Hard to Read
« on: Saturday 03 February 24 14:14 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there

I have found an ancestor's baptism in Latin but there is a crossing out of my great, great grandfather's name with another name written above it. This is a real surprise! There is also a little cross and an amendment below which I am finding hard to read. I think it is also in Latin. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Liz

That's good to know. I think I will have to find all the Alexanders in the Royal Horse Guards who were around in London during 1902. A bit of a long shot to say the least!

That marriage certificate find was pretty amazing. Still no idea about the father though. I have a feeling his name was Alexander and Annie Alexandra is named after him and her sister in law Annie - the one she stayed with to give birth. He probably was a soldier. No idea where else to go apart from DNA - but even that is going to be hard!!

Interesting about the adoptive family. I know who they are and they lived in the area but at another address. I discovered that they must have kept up contact with the birth mother because Annie Alexandra appears on Mary Elizabeth Wheeler's marriage certificate as a witness when she is about 16 years old. She didn't know that she was her mother. She discovered she was adopted when her adopted mother died and she found her birth certificate!!

That's right. I think she was bit more evasive on this record - not sure why. This is definitely her. The DOB matches with the daughter Annie Alexandra.

I've got the certificate. The father's name is Alexander Wheeler. Her name is Mary Elizabeth Wheeler formerly Wheeler. I think that looks really suspicious - but I the registrar accepted it.

It looks like she looked after her child for the first 1 1/2 years when she had her child baptised and a question mark appears in the register for the father.

The informant was the mother. Her name is correct, the address is correct (her brother's house - I assume she moved there to temporarily live and give birth).

Hard to know how made up all of the information is! His profession is - private royal horse guards.
