Help with 1623 baptism please
« on: Wednesday 04 October 23 08:13 BST (UK) »
Hi
Could anyone transcribe the attached baptism please?  It is the one directly about the year "1624".  Ancestry has transcribed it as Henry son of Hema and Ann Greene and I'd like to know how accurate that is.  It is from the PR of Charminster, Dorset.
Many thanks

Looks like 'Henry the son of Henry' and then perhaps 'Greene' but it is very faded. Not sure where they got Ann from!

I agree - Henrie son of Henrie Greene.

Other entries do seem to include a wife's name, but in this instance it is by no means clear.

Added: there is another baptism in the BTs (unfortunately I can't see the original) in 1620 where the parents are listed as Henry & Jane Greene.

Thanks to both of you for that help.  Will have to check the BT next time I am at my local LDS library for the birth in 1620. 
Thanks again.
