Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Odiham Baptisms - Baldwin/Barlow
« on: Wednesday 18 June 14 01:22 BST (UK) »
I have my gt. grandmothers birth certificate. Her name was Ellen Sophia Baldwin (father James Baldwin, mother Sophia Baldwin nee Silver) born 08 Aug 1863, Odiham.
I've recently purchased the Hampshire Baptism records CD from HGS. On it, the only 'suitable' matching record for an Ellen Sophia, daughter of a James & Sophia in Odiham is one on 18 Sep 1863. Trouble is, the parents surname is given as Barlow!
For myself, I can't see how Baldwin could be mistranscribed as Barlow!
I don't know if I'm being cheeky (I've never made a look-up request before) but I wondered if anyone was going to Winchester and could clarify this for me?
Thanks for reading this,
Tim
