  • Charfield Parish Records

    I'm hoping to find someone with access to parish records in Charfield, Glos. My gr gr gr grandfather William Fisher was born there in about 1805 - 1807. I would not be surprised if his father was called William too - his son and his grandson were all Williams! And his descendants were farmers or somehow connected with agriculture.

    Maybe his father was Samuel. I can't find a baptism (the Glos Baptism Index CD starts in 1813), but Samuel Fisher married Mary Fowler at Charfield on 19th January 1804 – William's parents, perhaps?

    No sign of any post-1813 baptisms to these parents, anywhere in Glos, or any Fisher baptisms at Charfield.

      There's an IGI extracted entry for William's baptism (parents Samuel & Mary) at Charfield in November 1804.

        thanks for this - from IGI i've now got a christening in Charfield for William Fisher on 4 November 1804- parents Samuel and Mary Fisher; marriage as you say of Samuel Fisher and Mary Fowler on 19 Jan 1804; a christening of Mary Fowler on 24 Jan 1788 - parents William and Elizabeth Fowler; and 2 possible fathers for William Fowler through the christening of 2 different Williams - one in 1755 to a Nicholas Fowler and another on 18 March 1756 to a William Fowler.

        Cos this is all from the IGI - and I am not sure that I can trust it - I am wondering whether someone out there has access to the parish records for Charfield. I have been able to verify the Samuel Fisher and M ary Fowler marriage through one kind reply but not the rest.

        Please help me if you can!!!!!!!!! I don't want to start tracing someone else's family tree!!!

        Cheers

        and thanks for being so supportive - this is a great community!!

          Extracted entries are generally more reliable than submitted entries, though there is still a risk of mistranscription. You could view the film of the PRs at a LDS centre of your choice.
