It looks quite like the info in the top right corner - i.e. Surrey ~ St George Southwark.
I seem to have forgotten this and left it unposted - sorry! Just got back to the computer after watching Henry V on BBC2

Just had a look for myself, and can't see anything obvious - or not at St George's, anyway.

Of course, even if they lived in St. George's parish, they could have had the children baptised somewhere else, but I haven't found a baptism elswhere either, so it presumably took place in a parish not covered by the LMA records on Ancestry.

Frustrating! All you can do is to hope for them to turn up somehow - perhaps someone spots an error/omission and submits a correction.

Thanks so much for checking for me. It is very frustrating because I also haven´t found any baptismal record for any of the recorded children - or any other children who might not have lived for a census (Elizabeth and Benjamin were married a while before Thomas´birth). Benjamin and Elizabeth were married at St. Lukes - but I don´t know any real reason they would have had an enduring tie to the church since neither were originally from London. The fact that none of the children - Thomas, John or Amelia - appear seems more than a coincidence or mistake of spelling?

could very well be sitting in plain site. my 3rd great grandmother was a powton, and her bap was missing from knayton parish registers in yorks. but half her sibs were there, before and after her birth. one day i got frustrated and just did a search on a forename in the batch number. found her under 'poulton' along with all the missing siblings!!

We'd have to start looking for variants of "ARNOLD". Probably easier to look for "ARN*"

Thanks Kyle and Christine. I just looked through the complete baptismal records for St. George 1851 without luck but I did notice that many, many people baptised their children in batches - they would take the latest child in to be baptised and do all the earlier kids as well. The last child, Amelia was handicapped and I might check the records to see if they rushed her (and the others) to baptism. The mother Elizabeth, died in 1861 after being sick for years and it is just possible none of them were baptised.Last edited by serdmann; 24-07-12, 09:37.
