Help reading Document
« on: Friday 24 August 07 11:17 BST (UK) »
Hello
I don't know if this is the right place to post this.
Someone has sent me this and wondered if anyone could tell me what it says.
I am trying to read the names before where it says name of Mobberley.
Sorry but its the best copy i have.

Looks as if it might be:

"certificate of Baptism made for a man of the name of Mobberley [ Ismail? Samuel? ] Royston"


Not sure the bit after Mobberly is his name - could be where he is from?  Is this a note in the parish register?

Hi

Thanks but the name of the person was William, on all census he says he was born born Ryston.

This is part of his discharge papers.

Hi,
I read it as " Certificate of Baptism used for a share of the name of Mobberley born at Royston. Maybe wrong but?

This is quite an old thread so I wonder, kd, whether you have obtained further information since last you posted
on the thread (25 Aug 2007)?

If not, I'd just say a few things:

1. I'd stick to my earlier interpretation slightly refined.
As follows:
Certificate of Baptism inside
{f}or a man of the name of Mobberl(e)y
{bo}rn at Royston


2. In the 1841 census (in Worcestershire), William's entry has "Yes" i.e. born in the County.
Of course that might well be a mistake.
Incidentally, I believe that the entry for Eleanor was initially 'F' (foreign) but that it  has been overwritten
with 'I' (Ireland).

3. In the 1851 census, William's entry has his birthplace as "Ryston" (sic) without any County being specified
(and I think it says 'Nr Blind' in the final column).

4. In the 1861 census, William's entry has his birthplace as "Middlesex Riston" (sic).

Regards,

JAP
