Eton parish baptism record image - trouble finding!

[Kate-Birchtree]

Hi everyone

I've managed to find a baptism record for an ancestor baptised in Eton in 1820 (George Bampton) - record found on FindMyPast (transcription only).

However, I'm hoping to view the original parish record image and can't seem to locate a repository online where they might be available.

Ancestry and FamilySearch don't even appear to have this baptism in their database at all. As mentioned, FindMyPast only has the transcription.

I've searched across a few genealogy guide websites (including FamilySearch wiki for Buckinghamshire) but I haven't had any luck finding a possible avenue for consistent coverage of the transcriptions, let alone the original images.

Do they exist and are they publicly available? Hoping somebody can help me out!

Thanks for your help!

P.S. My key question is finding out George Brampton's age/DOB, and I'm hoping the baptism image will offer this detail. Based on other records, I have a suspicion he was around 2-3 years old when he was baptised, but I'm hoping to verify this. If you happen to know this bit of information, that makes things even easier! 😊

Notes below entry on FindMyPast say

“ The Buckinghamshire baptism index was created from the original records held at the Buckinghamshire Archives. ”

If you are overseas, it might be worth contacting the archive directly to ask them to send you an image

But I would say a 2 or 3 year discrepancy in age in this period is nothing.  It wasn’t as important to know your precise date let alone year of birth then.

Are you assuming that a date of birth will be on the baptism record?
Not that common, on the baptism records I have seen.
