Is any kind person able to lookup the baptism and burial records of St. Paul's church, bow common? I'd like the records of Lilian maud lightly. Born 26th Jan. 1879. Birth registered on 5th march 1879. Died shortly after (date unknown). Her parents were Georgina and George Edwin lightly. Many thanks for any help.

The death certificate would give you the exact date:-

Original doesn't give birthdate but says baptised privately which suggests that it was probably soon after birth and that she wasn't expected to live.

the age of 15yrs of georgina's marriage must be a mistake

But you probably already have all this, just looking for the baptism/burial for the child you have posted about?

I found the baptism but not the burial of the child, Lilian Maud. She was baptised 31 Jan. 1879 so possibly premature.

Many thanks to all of you for your kind assistance. It's appreciated.
