| Parish Register searches for the baptism of Lydia Ball | ![]() |
| I'm searching for the baptism of Lydia Ball, probably born around 1818 / 1819 in either Marylebone or Westminster; father William. See this page which introduces the entire search. I have therefore been searching Parish Registers in that area, particularly those that are NOT in the IGI: |
|
|
||||
| St. George Hanover Square, Westminster | DONE | Not in IGI, (partly) close to Marylebone. Checked index for 1815 to 1821 (inclusive). NO Lydia Ball, no Martha. [Surname Ball: 1816: 843 Ar M; 1817: 55 Fred; 1818: 876 Frans H; 1819: 369 George W; 1820: 619 John C; 1821: 298 Aug L.] | ||

(mostly) |
Not in IGI. Checked index Vol 18: 01/11/1815 to 19/04/18 [41: H. Ball; 242: M. Ball is Maria, daughter of George and Maria]. Could check after 19/04/18 ? | ||
| St. James, Westminster | DONE | Supposedly in IGI, but not well covered.
