Smithson christening in Wye
« on: Sunday 29 March 20 00:49 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone can double check the parish registers of Wye for a christening date. I am hoping to confirm the date of christening of Dorothie Smythson [or Smithson] daughter of John Smythson who was christened in Wye in May 1599.

The christening of Dorothie appears on the hastingleigh.com website but it is listed twice. The christening is listed on there with the dates 6 May 1599, then 11 May 1599.

Is anyone able to double check the original records or another source to see which date is correct or confirm if both are correct?

Many thanks
Matt

I would have posted the snippet of the image showing the date but can't seem to upload the image.

I am interested in Emlin Smithson born in 1634 in Mersham. There are a couple of Smithson wills in Smeeth and I wondered if they mentioned Emlin (possibly as Emlin Boulding/en)? There is no marriage or burial found for Emlin.

Hi

Thanks for the update. I had completely forgotten about this family so at least I can now confirm this date.
