Where do I look for a Ware birth please?

[jean]

I am trying to trace a gt grandparent who according to census was born c 1823 Ware Hertfordshire - is there somewhere I can email for a look-up

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

jean, have you looked on the IGI? Ware seems to be covered for that year and a few each way.

Also I was just reading that a lot of Ware "events" tool place in the parish of Thundridge. - Don't know if that makes things better or worse! lol

Hi Jean

I sometimes go to Herts RO, I can have a look for the baptism next time I go if you like?

If you want to pm me the details I will see what I can find. It might not be for a few weeks yet though, if you are in no rush.

[jean]

Thats very kind, thank you. I will pm you

There's some potentially useful information about resources here:
hertsdirect.org Parish Register Transcripts

Unfortunately they don't seem to have baptisms.

Thank you Trevor



Unfortunately they don't seem to have baptisms.

They do - but not online - and not necessarily the dates you wanted. I downloaded their pdf list of the registers yesterday - from one of those links.

I will go and have another look - thanks Christine
