Chesham Baptist Records

[tenterfieldjulie]

Can someone check the Baptist chapel records for Births and Burials at Chesham on FMP for me please.

On Famsearch the following births are recorded for three sons of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Ware - John – 19/5/1787; Nathaniel 6/2/1789; Jonathan 23/6/1790.

There is a NonCom Burial for John Nathaniel Ware 22/1/1787 – mother Elizabeth Ware.

I am wondering if it is hard to read and it should be John burial 22/6/1787- parents Nathaniel and Elizabeth Ware?:D

Thanks Julie

It's actually quite clear & you are correct Julie. The child was 3 yrs old.

Do you want a copy?

Had another look & the date is actually June 22nd.

Yes please Glen. I do like it when a hunch is correct lol. Thanks. Julie
Glen can you see a birth record for 1784 or is there another child 1787 too.

Sending. Shall have a look for the other. Anything to delay painting!!

How is the tennis?

The 3 you mentioned are there but no birth reg for John Nathaniel. However it is difficult to know how old they were when registered. The John was born before John Nathaniel was buried so was probably registered later - may even have started life with a different name?
There are 6 earlier births. I'll send copies later as I really must start painting before the morning has gone!!

How is the tennis?

Going well. Really enjoying it & winning more than I'm losing. Mobility is the best it's been for 7 or 8 years. Bye for now.
