Church Records - Christening
« on: Friday 31 August 07 10:52 BST (UK) »
Can anyone tell me if Church Records for a christening in 1836 would show mothers maiden name.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the answer may be ... sometimes yes, sometimes no. I've found that the further back you go, the less likely it is that the mother's name is included.

Can you tell us the names you're searching?

Ruskie

My g g g grandparents John Harper and Elizabeth had 3 children that were christened at All Saints Church, Claverley. on the following dates.

George     -  June 1828
Henry           -  Apr   1830
Elizabeth       - Feb   1836

I have been unable to find a marriage between their parents so I am trying to find Elizabeths maiden name.

Regards

Hi Fay,
Do you have the family in any or all census?

Hi Fay,
Thanks for those - I was really wondering if you wanted me to look for them in the census for you. Sometimes there are children born after 1837, or in-laws with the family - little clues which may help. Not in this case unfortunately.

Yes, I just had a look and found the family in 1841. Wondering if the couple had other children before George?

I don't have any Shropshire PR's - I hope someone who does will be able to assist, but I'll poke around and see if I can dig anything up.

Thanks Ruskie

I haven't been able to find any other children other than the ones I mentioned.

I may contact Shropshire Archives to see if they can check the Church Records for maybe one of the children.

Regards
