Baptism look-up required - Camerton, Somerset
« on: Wednesday 06 September 06 21:54 BST (UK) »
I am trying to confirm the birth of William LATHAM who was supposedly born 1851 - 1852 in Camerton, Somerset according to 1861 census.  Parents John LATHAM and Hannah (or Anna) nee HELPS.  John LATHAM was a coal miner and the sister of my great grandmother Marianne LATHAM.

I cannot find a GRO Birth Index entry for William. 

And so would really appreciate it if someone could look up the baptism registers for Camerton at the Somerset Record Office to try to find William LATHAM's baptism.  Spelling of the surname LATHAM is sometimes different e.g LATCHEM, LEATHAM, LAYTHAM etc.

Other children born to John and Hannah were:
George 1848
Thomas 1853
Sarah 1856
Mary A. 1859
George 1870

all born Camerton, Somerset.

LDS have not yet filmed parish registers for Camerton beyond 1837 so I am not able to access easily.

Any assistance much appreciated.

Thanks,
