Baptism - John James KING c1862 - BSE
« on: Tuesday 01 September 09 16:35 BST (UK) »
Hi All
Hoping someone may be able to find a baptism for this John.
He is on 1881 census as a boarder aged 19 with the Scott family in Beccles & gives his occupation as baker & confectioner. He says born Bury St. Edmunds on this & subsequent census but cannot find him on 1871. Have checked 1871 looking for a John James or a John or a James but can't pinpoint the correct one. He marries Alice Sophia Harper in 1884 I think at Wangford.
If anyone can give me his baptism & father I would be grateful.
Thanks Lynn S

If he is not coming up on an earlier census, or if there are more than one around, then you will need to get his marriage cert to see who he names as his father.

Or better still his birth cert -

Jan/Feb/MAr 1862
Bury St Ed
4a 457

John James King
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex
