HAM in Kent

[PaulineJ]

Thanks for the batch number. They baptisms seem to be extracted records.

Genuki explicitly states that they (IGI and BVRI)  do NOT contain the same information.

i'm looking at the bvri info and it doesn't seem to mention hartlip at all...?

The baptism date for Sarah HUBBARD in Ham is 2 Nov 1788   


Is it the same for Hartlip?

Thanks everyone for your help.

First of all I must apologise, my records were not from VRI2 they were from Kent Family History Society     cds.

Yes all records from familysearch ( exact birth dates of all children)

were same as cds from Kent Family History Society.

Ham Green is spitting distance from Upchurch, it will probably be the same one

The IGI place name is a mistake and that batch number covers several different parishes not only Ham.  I have a theory as to how this may have come about ..................

Often a particular library or organisation may order filmed copies of events for several different parishes.  If these parishes are relatively small ones, several parishes may be accomodated on one roll of microfilm and often in alphabetical order.

East Kent parishes, in order, would be .............

Ham
Harbledown
Harrietsham
Hartlip

In my own personal records (from the original parish register) I have James TADDLETON/SADDLETON baptised Harbledown 30 Sep 1810.  This event is recorded on the IGI as taking place in Ham with the same batch number as your Hartlip entries ie. C031744.  Thus I would suggest that somebody has copied entries from a film and not changed the parish from Ham to Harbledown and Hartlip.  Whether Harrietsham and/or other parishes are also included in this same batch number I couldn't say without checking it out.

Thanks Casalguidi,

Ham was obviously Halstow.

Hi.

I am trying to work out why some of my wife's forebears are shown as being baptised in Ham & also the Parish Church of Lower Hardres. Am trying to find forebears of Samuel & his wife Elizabeth??
