If anyone is planning to visit the CRO anytime in the near future, I’d be most grateful for a lookup.
I am trying to confirm the possible baptism of a Josiah Epps (Apps, Eppes) in Fowey on October 30, 1721, who I believe may be my 5xgreat-grandfather. His parents, Josiah Epps and Ann (née Dowrick), were married in Fowey on June 13, 1717 and had a daughter Mary who was baptized there on October 14, 1718.
For some reason, there are no Fowey baptisms in the Cornwall OPC database for the year 1721, although there are 34 baptisms for 1720 and 36 baptisms for 1722. I contacted the Fowey OPC, but she didn’t have any additional information. Likewise, while Mary Epps baptism shows up on FamilySearch, there is no sign of young Josiah - again, Fowey baptisms for 1721 seem to be missing.
The possibility of a 1721 baptism for Josiah came from an Ancestry user, who found the information on this page*. However, that doesn't have his sister Mary's christening, which seems a bit odd. And I note that even the site's webmaster suggests "that before using any of the below records as SOURCE records, that you verify them…".
If anyone can check the parish register and/or BT, it would be most appreciated.
