Lincs to the Past - Branston

[ElizabethHerts]

I'm trying to find baptisms for OH's Morris family in Branston. I have the dates:

Children:
1. Elizabeth baptised 2 Jun 1695 Branston
2. Leticia
(Letichah) baptised 2 Feb 1697 Branston
2. Edward baptised 19 Sep 1699 Branston
3. Mary baptised 1 Dec 1704 Branston
4. Susanna baptised 17 Aug 1712 Branston
5. Sarah baptised 10 Aug 1712 Branston


There was also an Elinor, but I don't know where she was baptised.

I keep looking for these baptisms, but I just can't seem to find them. The baptisms seem to peter out before I get to the right year.

I have got the burial of their father, Edward Morris, in 1713.

Buried 28th March 1713 Branston
(parish register, image 22 on Lincs to the Past, a third of the way down)

If anyone could help me navigate my way around this register, I'd be very grateful.

Just remind me how to get to the parish register in the first place, and I'll have a go!

[ElizabethHerts]

Thanks, KiteRuner.

Go to Advanced Search.
Type "Branston Par 1" in the box "Type exact phrase".
The last item on the bottom of the first page is the register for 1680-1763

Date: 1680-1763 Collection: Lincolnshire Archives Reference: BRANSTON PAR/1/2

Just click on the image. The burials are at the back and reasonably legible. The front of the register is a mess!

Elizabeth and Laticia are on image no 11, for a start. And Edward is on that one too.

[kiterunner]

And Mary is on image 12.

[kiterunner]

Sarah is on image 13. Are you sure about the date for Susanna?

[ElizabethHerts]

Sorry not to have replied before, KiteRunner - I've been visiting a friend.

Many thanks for locating them. I was really struggling to see the images properly.
I'll have to check my source for Susanna.

The burials for Sarah and Susanna are on the same page as Edward's burial.

I have Edward's will - he names his children Edward, Elizabeth, Elinor and Letitia.

OH is descended from Letitia Morris.

What an idiot I am, I must have found them before because I added a note to the page!!

I couldn't have recorded what I found.

[ElizabethHerts]

Could I have an opinion on image 11, please?

The left-hand page.
There is a rip going a little way horizontally just below half-way down.
Above that is the name Elizabeth.

Please could someone read the line above that for me? I know what I want it to say, but I don't want to sway anyone!:)

Eleanor the daughter of Edward Morris baptised the 15th day of of octob

Not sure about the 15th.

Thanks so much, KiteRunner. I hadn't got her baptism, but I knew she existed from Edward Morris's will.
