NEED BAPTISMS WEST HAM

[liverpool5]

Hi,  Yes you have the correct children listed.  The last child Ernest, was probably baptised at St Margaret's Church at Barking as I know the family moved there.  As for the other children, I am assuming they would have been baptised in the Cann Hall/Borthwick Road area of Leytonstone.  Any suggestions as to a likely church?

Checked St Columba wanstead slip in Leytonstone.
Found reginald born 10/3/1913
Lily born 31/3/1908 who was baptised with Blanche who was born 1/10/1909

Ernest not baptised at St Margaret's. No needs found after Reginald at St Columba.

Wow.  Thank you.  More pieces of the jigsaw in place.  Frank may not have been baptised as he died in the same quarter that he was born.  So that leaves Iris June Q 1915, Alfred Mar Q 1917 and Ernest Mar Q 1919.  Did it have an address for the family on the baptisms you found?

Don't know if these are yours or if it's any help but in Rippleside Cemetery Barking in grave D 1692 are
William James Need buried 04/04/1939 aged 67
Rosina Need buried 19/03/1955 aged 78

They are in grave with Joseph Glover who died in 1891 aged 5 months

Just for info there is a Ranelagh Road between Barking and East Ham it lays off the Barking Road could come under Barking (Romford Reg district) or West Ham

Thank you.  Yes they are my people in Rippleside Cemetery.  I have visited there.

[nannyj]

Yes ... Ranelagh road ... 53, I think? Can't remember the number.

Thank you.  I am thinking the three missing baptisms maybe explained by the fact that they were during the first world war, so perhaps they didn't bother or much later after the war when the family moved to Barking.
