Granby baptism in Wootton 1871
« on: Friday 08 February 13 11:35 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I'm looking for the baptism of Flora Granby in Wootton in 1871.
FreeBMD has Flora Granby born Bedford district Mar 1871
FamilySearch has Laura Granby baptised 18 Oct 1871, daughter of Sarah Granby.
1881 census has Floria Granby living with Sarah Redman (married 1874 as Sarah Granby)
Can anyone help with the baptism of 8 Oct 1871 and see if the name is Laura or Flora please?
Helen

Freereg at http://www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/Search.pl has Laura age 8 mths. illegitimate, mother Sarah a lacemaker. Age fits with the birth and census, mother the same, looks like the vicar was hard of hearing
