baptism for sir Knight Henry Wotton, Malherbe, Kent
« on: Thursday 16 August 18 14:17 BST (UK) »
I'm searching the Kent baptisms on FindMyPast for sir Knight Henry Wotton born March 1568 at  Broughton, Malherbe, Kent. This baptism information comes from another tree on Ancestry. So far there are no baptisms for any Wottons/Woottons in Broughton Malherbe on FindMyPast.
Just wondering that if you are of noble birth would baptisms/marriages be recorded in the normal parish registers?
