William Alston c1794 - Essex Lookup

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

LondonBelle Report 25 Oct 2015 08:29

I'm hoping someone has access to Essex Parish Records and would be willing to do a look up for me?

I'm looking for a Baptism for William Alston born abt 1794 Mundon Essex; his parents were William Alston b abt 1770 Asheldham Essex and Ann Sewell b 1772.

There is a Transcript on Ancestry but I'm hoping there might be an image of the baptism.

Any help with this request will be much appreciated....thanks in advance.

Just to confirm that the Mundon register holds no more information than that given by Chris Ho above.

'William son of William Alstone and Ann his wife was born the 14th Septem[be]r 1795 and baptized the 9th Oct[obe]r following'

That's brilliant,Chris!

Can I ask are you looking at the image of the parish record? If so, presume no abode given apart from Mundon?

It was the actual image and William was baptised at Mundon but there is no indication in the register as to the place of abode.

I will send you the image.
