St Clements Church Registers Worcester

[warerc]

Is there any possibility that someone could look up the register for Worcester St Clement Baptisms for 16th November 1892 - the child is Kelsey and the mother Annie Kelsey. I am trying to find the father?

Hi,FreeBMD has Percival George P born in Gloustershire 1891?

[warerc]

Yes that is right. He was baptised by his mother 15 months later, and I would like to know if the register mentions a father or illegitimacy. He was my uncle.

Is he on the 1901 with his father..Sorry I don't have a subscription ?

A bit iffy but there is a marriage in Chepstow 1891.. James frederick A kelsey to Annie Bryan..

I have the birth certificate and the details of the baptism - I would just like to know if there is any more info in the actual register. In 1901 he was living aged 8 with the Walkers farmers in Sutton Coldfield. His surname was put down as KILSEY and didn't know where he was born. In later life he said he was born in Sutton Coldfield.
By 1911 he had joined the army and gone south to Hampshire where he married my aunt in 1912.
In 1891 there was an Annie Kelsey aged 21 single living at home doing household duties. She married in 1894 at Kings Norton Worcs.
As far as the birth certificate is concerned I can find no Annie Lucifer and am wondering if he was named Percival George Preston Kelsey to show that his father's name was Preston. It was never used in later life - he was always George.
