Looking for the birth/baptism of James Traynor.
The records I have found give a variety of dates but he consistently gives place of birth as Exeter & he did live in Torquay for some time, but also moved around the country a lot. I do not know where he died. Unfortunately, judging by what else I have found, POB as Exeter may prove to be a fabrication but it’s all I have to go on at present.
Per marriage certificate (Jan 1851, Salisbury) DOB 1831, father John Traynor (sailmaker)
Per 1861 census, DOB 1833
Per 1871 census, DOB 1833
Per 1891 census, DOB 1840
He was Catholic but the RC churches in Exeter seem to have been established after his DOB so I don’t know where to check for possible baptismal records & too early for FreeBMD.
Thanks for looking.
(Also thanks again to those who previously helped me locate his children)
