transcript

Volunteer transcript of the East Coker St Michael registers, searched through the FreeREG public interface; baptisms, marriages and burials are transcribed across 1790-1856, the period used here. FreeREG has no per-parish landing page, so the url is the transcription of the 1832 Baker-King marriage, the anchor entry for this parish. East Coker held several unrelated Baker households in these years - George and Temperance, George and Sarah, James and Sarah, Thomas and Jane, Malachi and Martha - so the MOTHER'S NAME is the discriminator in every citation drawn from it. This source replaces an incorrect attribution: citations 53635 and 53636, made in proposal 2231, quoted East Coker entries but pointed at source 1531, the Worstead St Mary registers of Norfolk.

For George Baker & Mary King

Eliza Baker | baptism | 05 Jan 1840 | St Michael | George BAKER | Mary | Weaver Susan Baker | baptism | 24 Dec 1843 | St Michael | George BAKER | Mary

Re-made against the correct source: the identical citation 53635 was attached to source 1531, the Worstead St Mary registers of NORFOLK, which is a defect from proposal 2231 and not a claim anyone intended. Two baptisms at East Coker St Michael, quoted in the transcription's field order: name, event, date, church, father, mother, father's occupation. They match the two elder daughters on the Kate's 1854 list (Eliza abt 1839, Susan abt 1843, both of East Coker). George and Mary appear in the East Coker baptism register only from 1840 although they married in the parish in 1832, so either earlier children were baptised elsewhere or none survived. Amelia's own baptism is absent from the transcription although both her sisters are in it to the same parents - the positive control that the gap is in the transcription, not the family.

For George Baker & Mary King

County Somerset | Place East Coker | Church name St Michael | Register type Parish Register | Register entry number 189 | Marriage date 25 Dec 1832 | Groom forename George | Groom surname BAKER | Bride forename Mary | Bride surname KING | Witness1 Robert YOUNG | Witness2 Samuel DODGE | Credit Jeffery Mance | File line number 1026

The union recorded on the family, which until now had unionType 'unknown' and no date. It is also the record that gives the wife her own surname, so her primary name row is corrected from Baker to King in this proposal.
