James Goldfinch baptism abt 1819 Reading

[baltibluebird]

Hi

I wonder if anyone has any idea where I may find the baptism for James Goldfinch who was born abt 1819, Reading.

He is in Petham with him family in the 1841-71 censuses, occupation Baker and he gives place of birth as Reading and Berkshire.

I have looked on the IGI and family.search but to no avail.

Thanks in anticipation ...

Hi Westwood1,
I know you say you've looked on the IGI and Family Search in Berks,
but the IGI does show an extracted entry for  James Goldfinch bapt. 15-8-1819 Caversham, Oxford. S/O Thomas & Charlotte.

   "Batch No.C033361 Dates   1810 - 1859 Source Call    0095223     Film    6903921"   

Caversham is /or was, in my time of living there,  a suburb of Reading on the River Thames.

Hope this helps.

Nice one Alan I didn't think of Caversham - from the registers

1817 May 25th Mary d/o Thomas & Charlotte Goldfinch - fellmonger
1819 Aug 15 James s/o Thomas & Charlotte Goldfinch - fellmonger

then oddly - the only other mention of Goldfinch

1821 Nov 4 Thomas s/o Thomas & Martha Goldfinch - carpenter

there is a marriage on the IGI

Thomas Goldfinch to
CHARLOTTE HUMPHREYS    
29 JAN 1810      Cookham, Berkshire
