Bournemouth Oratory Catholic christenings 1874-8

[Janet Jones]

At this time Bournemouth was in Dorset, I'm looking for the christening of Elizabeth Broome born between 1874 and 1878, daughter of James Broome a stonemason who may have been employed in Bournemouth at this time. The Arundel dioceses that covers the Oratory was very dismissive of my request to access their christening register.  Has anyone come across Elizabeth, her father's occupation took the family to London, possibly Marylebone and then to Manchester where in 1891 Elizabeth took herself and two younger sisters to the workhouse in 1891.

Arundel Diocese was in Westminster Archdiocese until 1965.
Hampshire was in Southwark Diocese when the Catholic Hierarchy was restored in England in 1850.
Southwark and Westminster registers are on Find My Past.
Dioceses in S. England were split and new ones formed later in 19th C.

See my reply to your duplicate post on the Hampshire board.
Arundel became a diocese in 1965.

She was adamant all through her life that she was born in Bournemouth, including what she told the workhouse, despite the fact she cannot be found on GRO so I pondered on the Catholic Church she may have been christened in did not send up the entry.  Yes that is her working in a pub in 1901 but my sister in law presumed that given an accent Bournemouth and Barmouth could have sounded similar, there is no Elizabeth Broome or Broom born in Barmouth despite extensive searching
