Member Since: December 2004 Posts: 19 Send Message	I want to find out why no parents not even a father were on John Lord's baptism in 1722 in Wanborough, Berkshire, England

	'I want' is not a good start...........'please could you help' would be better If the father wasn't known, he wouldn't be recorded, and mothers were considered irrelevant

	According to my 1864 gazetteer, Wanborough is about 3 miles from Swindon, in Wiltshire, although it isn't very far from the Berkshire border. It also has its own parish church, St Andrew's, so perhaps that is the Baptism register that Wylde One has seen?
