MAIDSTONE and surrounds
« on: Wednesday 09 April 08 17:20 BST (UK) »
I have been `stuck` on my Welch ancestors for many years. Charles Welch (Welsh) was my gggrandfather. He said that he was born in Maidstone c1805. Any sightings of this man in any Parish Record in the Maidstone or surrounding areas would be greatly appreciated. ???

The IGI for Maidstone includes baptisms 1804-1812 but I can't see  a Baptism for Charles WELSH/WELCH.  ???

Thanks for your reply. I have tried the IGI but could not find him either.  On all the census returns he says that his birthplace was Maidstone. Maybe I should look outside the Maidstone area. ???

If he says he was born in Maidstone then that's where it should be. ???

There are plenty of non-conformist records for this period on the IGI.

The KFHS have transcribed All Saints baptisms 1770 - 1812.  They might be worth checking out in case he was a few years older than he said.

Looking at batch number C042598 (Maidstone baptisms 1804-1812) there is a Charles WELCHGRAY baptised 1804 with a possible sister, Louisa, 1808 - I wonder if these should be "Welch GRAY" (parents William & Jane) - I've never come across WELCHGRAY as a surname before.

Have a play around with the IGI batch numbers for Maidstone by just entering first names of parents ie. William & Jane and see what GRAY/WELCH entries come up http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,283808.0.html

That would be about the correct dates so I will try for that........... thank you so much for your time and effort. It is much appreciated by me. Maybe this is the brickwall I need to break down. :)

It certainly looks promising.  :D

I'd like to see the original parish register entry.

I have promised myself a trip to the S.O.G next week as I had a yearly subscription from my daughters as a Christmas present. I am going to look at the Parish Records that they have there.
Charles called his 1st daughter Jane (my ggrandmother) so maybe she was named after his mother.
Again many thanks to all who have helped. :)
