Brown baptism West Ham 1939

[Helen Bedford]

Hi
If anyone has access to the baptism registers for the parish of West Ham, could they do a quick look up for me please?
I'm looking for a Jacqueline M Brown, born Sep quarter 1939 in West Ham district, need parents please?

Using FreeBMD the birth registration for Jacqueline shows a mother's maiden name of Johnson.

Again, using FreeBMD, there is a possible marriage, again in West Ham Registration District - March quarter 1939 - James T Brown and Margaret E Johnson.

Thanks for that but I am hoping that her baptism shows other parents, namely Archibald Heath Brown and Florence,nee Johnson

I think you might have to invest in the birth certificate.

[Helen Bedford]

Agreed but worth trying for a baptism first, I might get lucky!

Hi so you are hoping Jacqueline is from the marriage of Archibald H Brown to Florence Johnson June qtr 1925 West Ham 4a 200?

That's correct, I have found Florence in 1939 and she has two obscured children, so I am hoping that this might be one of them

West Ham registration district covers more than West Ham parish. Do you have Florence's actual address in 1939 to narrow down which is nearest church

Unfortunately Florence had been evacuated in 1939 and was living in Hornchurch, so I can't help with that - but according to FreeBMD the former larger district had been cut in 1935 to just one parish of West Ham itself - which is why I picked that particular birth
