I am having a hard time finding the a appropriate Source Writer for Baptisms in
various counties in England and Wales.
The Source Writer for Church Records mentions nothing about Baptisms, unless I
have developed tunnel vision, and it is there right under my nose.
My OS is Microsoft Vista and my LFT is 8.0.0.598. Must update computer soon!
As attachments are not allowed I will try to explain my problem.
I have an image of a Baptism, viewed in Findmypast, in the Parish of Lower
Brixham (Devon, England) that has a page number and an entry number with a
reference to South West Heritage Trust and Parochial Church Council in the left
margin.
The transcript, copyright of Findmypast, has, besides the name of the
individual, date of Baptism, father and mother,etc it list the location of the
Baptism as Brixham, All Saints (not mentioned on the image), the Archive as
South West Heritage Trust (no mention of the Parochial Church Council), an
archive reference (1955A/PR/1/1) that makes no mention of the page number or
line number and whose archive reference is it?
For sourcing purposes who holds the original Baptism document, the Parochial
Church Council, South West Heritage Trust or Findmypast? Only the South West
Heritage Trust and Findmypast have URLs. In years to come which of the three
will still be around?
Do I select Source Writer>Church Records>Church Record Books>created at local
level (parish, congregation, meetings, etc and do I do the best I can with
that? The Source Detail related to this Master Source is not very informative.
To date I have not attached any images or transcripts to any sources or
citations which might help complete the picture of the source, but that's
another To Do Task.
So does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone with ancestors in England come
up with a solution that makes sense?
