Baptism Lookup Please: Betsy Ann Foster 1834

[Darren01]

Hi,

I am trying to trace to birth of a Betsy Ann Foster born in or around 1834 in Northill, Cornwall. Any help would be appreciated particularly with regard to her parents names.

Many thanks,

Darren

Hi Darren

Is she the Betsy Ann Foster who married James Down (Sep qtr 1853 Liskeard)?

Hi,

She is indeed !

Her age/inferred DOB seems to have varied a bit as between 1861 (29 b Northill), 1871 (35 b Liskeard) and her death in Liskeard in 1872 (aged "41"), but I would think she is likely to be the Betsy Ann Foster "21" b Northill who in 1851 is shown as a daughter of Richard Foster (53, gardener, b Northill) and his wife Mary (53 b Northill).

The 1851 census reference for the family (enumerated in Calstock) is HO107/1901/100/21.  Using this reference alone should sidestep any transcription issues.

She's in the same family in 1841 aged 12, as "Betsey" Foster, enumerated in Lezant.

This baptism extract* seems likely to be hers, from www.familysearch.org.

Baptism, Northill

22 May 1829

Betsy Ann FOSTER, daughter of Richard & Mary.


*There may be more information in the baptism register itself.

Obtaining Betsy's marriage certificate would enable you to cross-check her father's name and occupation.

Hi,

Thanks very much. I'll try the baptism register if I can find it. Do you know if they are available online?
Some are, up here in Sheffield

Thanks again,

Darren

Darren - I don't know, but this may help:

Alternatively given that Familysearch have relevant material you may be able to order it up through your local LDS centre, if you have one.

See: https://familysearch.org/locations

there are some browsable images of parish registers from Cornwall on the new FamilySearch

https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1&region=UNITED_KINGDOM_IRELAND

But I can't access them at the moment to check if Northill's are on. I'll try to remember to look later.

Hi

The baptism register on familysearch images gives the extra information that father Richard was a labourer, and their abode was  'Way-cross ?
