Wow Monica, you are brilliant! Thank you. This certainly looks like my family. It will take some time for me to wrap my head around all this info. Thank you so much.

Hi again, I tried to set up a free account but the site directs me to various options starting at 7 pounds. Looks like I may get the first month free if I sign up. Is that correct?

Hi Maddy it should be free although you can subscribe or take a free trial I haven't yet but plan on taking a months subscription when I have got all I can find and access for free in place on my tree.  Regardless you can create a free account, I was quite surprised at how much content is available for free.

I have found some of John and Mary's children's baptism records on Find My Past which is easy to use and might be a good starting point for you, although some of the names tend to be in Latin.

They will be in Latin irrespective of where you look them up, because if the transriptions and indexes show the Latin forms of the names, it is because the original documents show the Latin.

Make sure you do look at the original documents because they may and often do contain information that is not in transcriptions or indexes.

Yes I’d forgotten about the Latin. Even my brother’s name was announced in Latin at his Baptism in the 1960’s!
