Hi Everyone, I wonder if there is a kind soul out there who'd be able to get some info from the Totnes baptism registers next time they're at the RO there?? I'm afraid I don't have a clue which church, sorry!
I have a bunch of children from one family with very peculiar names (they're on BMD) and I just want to verify that they are, as I believe, part of my husband's tree. If I could check parent's names, and at the same time get their dates of birth, that would be wonderful.
Any offers??
Thanks all!!

Bear in mind that baptism dates are not DOB's.......many families baptised several children together...........

Hi Lynne,
The range is 1844 to 1867.

Children in question are:
Richard Mugford MCBRIDE 1844
Imogene Ermengarde MCBRIDE 1846
Isabella MCBRIDE 1848
Priscilla MCBRIDE 1851
Willaim John MCBRIDE 1853
Sigismund Certaldo MCBRIDE 1855 (died soon after)
Adelbert Uberto MCBRIDE 1859
Francis Edward MCBRIDE 1862
Eva Dora MCBRIDE 1864
Ludivico Alonzo MCBRIDE 1867

I believe thay were all the children of Francis MCBRIDE and his wife Mary Ann, neé MUGFORD. My husband's great grandfather was Adelbert Uberto and he knows nothing about him at all.
Any help most gratefully received!
Thanks Lynne,
Carlè

If you look at this site

you will see that there is an online parish clerk for Totnes.

Thanks Lynne, yes I have all that info and I know I could get the birth certs but there are so many and I just want to know if I have the right parents for them all! If I lived nearer to Devon I'd go and look but I'm in Sussex.
