Worrall missing baptisms

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Hi

I can find a whole family of James and Patience Worrall in the 1881 census living in Albert Street, Broughton, Salford. I can find the births of all the children in the GRO confirming that the mother's maiden name was Dunkerley (some variations on spelling). I can also find most of the baptisms of the children. (some variations on surname spelling)

Emma - bp 1863 St Philips
James - bp 1867 St Philips
Elizabeth Ann - bp 1869 St Philips
Alice - bp 1871 Christ Church
Joseph - bp 1875 Christ Church
Charles - bp 1878 Christ Church.

I can't find Ada's baptism but as she is the youngest and was born in Salford whereas the others were born in Bradford, it could be that those church records have not been transcribed.

What is puzzling me and where I hope someone here can help is why I cannot find the baptism of Mary Ellen.
She was born in 1866 so comes between Emma and James. She was born in Beswick, Bradford, Manchester just like them. If the first three children were baptised at St Philips, why wasn't she or is it just that the records for 1866 are missing or not transcribed?

Your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated as this is the one I want to find as she is my Great Grandmother.

Many thanks

thank you that is the one I was looking for. I tried lots of combinations of surname spellings but not Warren!
The occupation of James is correct so it matches.

Mission accomplished :-)
