Ware Hertfordshire baptism Register

[findem]

Hi,

Can anyone advise me if Hetfordshire Baptism registers for Ware are online other than what's on FindMyPast?

Or if they aren't could someone do three Ware lookups for me please?

1) My ancestor Jane Galoway was, according to both Family Search and Find My Past, baptised 1 Apr 1599, unfortunately neither source show the name of either parent, I need to know if the registers give at least Jane's father's name, hopefully Thomas.

2) Family Search shows a sibling (I think) Richarde Galoway baptised 4 Sep 1583, FindMyPast doesn't show him, the records on FindMyPast appear to be a handwritten transcription, I would like to know if the Richarde entry is correct.

3) John Galoway baptised 3 Feb, 1593 or 1594?  Family Search has 1593 and FindMyPast has 1594.

According to Family Search there were nine children baptised at Ware 1581 to 1599, none with a parent name, FindMyPast also show the same nine children but one child Thomas Galoway baptised 28 Feb 1588 is stated to be the "son of Thomas".

I believe that Jane Galoway's parents are Thomas Galoway and Mary Branche who married 6 Aug 1851 at Ware Herts according to Family Search, FindMyPast, and Hals, if, as I hope, Jane's baptism entry shows her father to be Thomas at least I can attribute Jane to Thomas and Mary Galoway.

In case at sometime anyone else has an interest in this family here are the baptisms of the nine Galoway children.

Elizabeth 29 Oct 1581.
Richarde 4 Sep 1583.
Judith 15 Oct 1585.
Thomas 28 Apr 1588, son of Thomas.
George 19 Oct 1589.
Henry 27 Dec 1590.
John 3 Feb 1593 or 1594.
Alice 20 Jun 1596.
Jane 1 Apr 1599.

Family Search reference, batch # C073041.

Can someone lookup the baptism entry for Jane Galoway 1 Apr 1599 in the Ware parish registers please.

If someone can at least look Jane up and let me know if at her parent's names are shown I would be most grateful.

I would like to know if Richarde Galoway baptised 4 Sep 1583 is correct but I would be more than happy to settle for just Jane so I can proceed with my research.

I am located in Australia so it's not something I can do for myself.

Regards.

This is not what you are asking for, but it may be of help. Agnes Galoway married Thomas Balham Ware St Mary 1/7/1571; Elizabeth Galoway married Thomas Cason Ware St Mary 9/5/1558; Another Elizabeth Galoway married Robert Fermar Ware St Mary 3/11/1561; Richard Galoway married Joan Fowler Ware St Mary 27/8/1609; Thomas Galoway married Mary Branche Ware St Mary 6/8/1581. These are on hertsdirect.org

3) John Galoway baptised 3 Feb, 1593 or 1594?  Family Search has 1593 and FindMyPast has 1594.

The online image says 1594 - I suspect this image is the Bishops transcript

Jane Galoway baptised 1 Apr 1599 at Ware, St Mary.

Just to recap, I'm still hoping someone will look Jane's baptism entry up in the Ware St Mary Parish Baptism entry and let me know if at her parent's names are shown I would be most grateful.

Regards.

FindMyPast does have this entry, also looks as though it may be Bishops transcripts

Not absolutely sure it's the BTs, but it is definitely a copy of the Ware parish register - sectioned by letters of the alphabet.  The first page of the book reads:

COPY
The register of the parish of Ware for christenings, marriages and burials beggininge at the yeare of our Lord 1558, being the first yeare of the reign of our Sovereign Ladie, Elizabeth, Queen of England, France etc.
From March 28th 1558 to Feb 20 1642 and from June 22nd 1645 to 1553 (sic).
The missing parts mentioned above all undecipherable, and not really plain enough to discern.
5,059 baptisms copied

Added:  looking at the link from rosie99, there is obviously yet another version, as the version I looked at on FindMyPast was arranged alphetically, rather than by year.

Added 2:  I think that rosie99's version is the parish register - page 1 of the book says "The Register Booke of the parishe of Ware for christenings, mariadges and burialls begininge at the yeare of our Lorde 1558, being the first of ye reigne of our Soveraigne Ladie, Elizabeth, Queene of Englande, France ect"

I'm not over-familiar with 16th century BTs, but certainly later ones were submitted on a yearly basis.  This book runs on year on year on the same page.
