FamilySearch's aggregated index of English baptism and birth entries drawn from parish registers and bishops' transcripts. An index only: it gives names, dates, parish and parents but is not the register image, and its transcriptions of unusual given names are not always reliable. Individual records are addressed as https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:<ark>. Read signed in, in a browser.

England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 · 1538–1975

For “Born” 25 AUG 1822 of Robert Nelson

Robert Nelson | England, Births and Christenings | Christening 25 August 1822 | Hawstead, Suffolk | Parents William Nelson, Sarah

FamilySearch index of the Hawstead parish register, read in a signed-in browser and relayed field-by-field; the register image was not seen. Strictly this dates the christening; no separate birth date is recorded in the series, which is why the birth event carries the christening date. The same entry is cited on the person and on family 32945 for the parent link.

England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 Elizabeth Debenham, Whepstead, 12 December 1819 Primary

England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 · 1538–1975

For “Born” 29 NOV 1819 of Elizabeth Debenham

Elizabeth Debenham | Christening 12 December 1819 | Whepstead, Suffolk | Parents John Debenham, Catherine Brownley Debenham

FamilySearch index of the Whepstead parish register. The christening is thirteen days after the birth date of 29 November 1819 carried on her record, which comes from the compiled profile and is consistent with it.

England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 Mary Anne Debenham, Chevington, 31 August 1823 Primary

England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 · 1538–1975

For “Christened” 31 AUG 1823 of Mary Ann Debenham

Name Mary Anne Debenham | Sex Female | Birth Date 12 Aug 1823 | Father's Name John Debenham | Mother's Name Catharine Brownley | Event Type Christening | Event Date 31 Aug 1823 | Event Place Chevington, Suffolk, England, United Kingdom | Event Place (Original) Chevington, Suffolk, England

FamilySearch index of the Chevington parish register, relayed field-by-field by the orchestrator from a signed-in browser; the register image was not seen. The register carries a separate birth date as well as the christening date, which is why her birth of 12 August 1823 is now a record rather than a compiled-tree date - and it matches the WikiTree profile exactly, showing that profile read the same entry.

England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 Mary Anne Debenham, Chevington - birth date Primary

England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 · 1538–1975

For “Born” 12 AUG 1823 of Mary Ann Debenham

Birth Date 12 Aug 1823

The register entry carries a birth date distinct from the christening date of 31 August 1823, which is why this is a recorded birth rather than an inference from the baptism. Same FamilySearch index entry as the christening citation; the register image was not seen. Her age of 90 at death in 1913 agrees with it.
