WEYBREAD Baptism Lookup Please 16th July 1831
« on: Tuesday 14 March 17 11:54 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I was wondering if someone could kindly confirm a baptism please. On familysearch.org I found the baptism of ELIZA MIKINS, at Weybread on 16th July 1831, father James, mother Susan. I'm hoping this is actually the baptism of ELIZA WISKINS/WHISKINS. I'm having great difficulty tracking down her baptism.....all her brothers were baptised at Weybread to parents JAMES WISKINS/WHISKINS and SUSAN LARTER. The year 1831 would seem to fit with my research. Any other information found in this entry would be very much appreciated.

I can't find an Eliza Wiskins but the Suffolk Baptism Index does have the baptism on 16 July 1831 at Weybread of an Eliza Wilkins, daughter of James, a Labourer, and Susan.

It is a transcription only, you really need to see the original to see exactly how the surname is written.

Thanks so much, Emelton, for that infomation! It's encouraging....at least WILKINS is a closer match to Wiskins/Wiskins than Milkins!

I agree, I really do need to see the original to confirm if it's my man. Hopefully someone may be able to do that for me.

Kind regards,
Deb
