Leytonstone parish registers

[MattD30]

Does anyone have parish registers for Leytonstone? I'm looking for the birth/baptism of Kate/Katie Donovan c1903 daughter of John and Jane Donovan.

Thanks.

Was she Catherine known as Kate?  The West Ham registration district covered Leyton

Per freebmd

Births March qtr 1903   

Donovan  Kate Annie     Edmonton  3a 647

Births March qtr 1903   

Donovan  Catherine     West Ham  4a 429

To look up a baptism for that period you would need to know the name of the church and the approximate date on which she was baptised.  Baptisms could take place weeks/months after a birth

Hi
Thanks for those, they give me a starting point.

Registers for the actual parish church of Leytonstone are definitely held at the Essex Record Office in Chelmsford. It seems to have been where illegitimate babies born in the workhouse nearby were taken to be baptized too. (If they weren't baptized in the workhouse itself).

Do you know if she had older siblings called Dennis & Charles?

I found this 1901 entry for Leyton Rd West Ham

John Donovan 28  b Bethnal Green - boot maker
Jane  25  b Whitechapel
Dennis 3  b Bethnal Green
Charles 1  b Bethnal Green
RG13; Piece: 1594; Folio: 72; Page: 27

Hiya

Yep that's the same family. I have that census myself, although I'm still trying to find out what Jane's maiden name was as I can't find a marriage for John and Jane. I could get it from the birth certificate of one of the children, but as John isn't a direct ancestor (I am descended from his elder brother Florance) I haven't got those yet.

Thanks again.

Hi

If ever you do find her maiden name - bear this freebmd entry in mind as there are 3 males but only 2 females on the same page

John Donovan Sept qtr 1894  St George in The East 
Volume: 1c  Page: 567

Thanks for that. I've just checked it on FreeBMD though and find 2 male and 2 female names. Did you get your entry from FreeBMD or ancestry? John married Jane.

Hi

This is the Ancestry entry for Vol 1 Page 567 hence the 3 males and 2 females
 
Ellen Mary Doherty 
John Donovan 
Mary Keating 
Henry George Richards 
Hyman Samuels 

I've just noticed that Hyman is shown as Whitechapel not St George and when I looked him up on freebmd this is the entry

Samuels  Hyman    Whitechapel  1c 507   
Samuels  Hyman     Whitechapel  1c 567
