I am wondering if some kind person may be able to help me with some Baptism lookups which I see are on the Genealogist Website. I do not have a subscription on there.
What I am after is as follows:
Sally, 1774
Mary 1781
James 1784
Thomas 1787
Ann 1790
Elizabeth 1795
John 1797
I think there may also have been a John in 1778 who did not survive beyond 1790

In each case the Parents should be James and Ann Palmer

Many thanks

Jeremy

There must be a James and Ann Palmer in Worcester itself - there are 2 Baptisms -
Both of a Thomas Palmer
one at Saint Helen's 28.1.1777 and one at St Swithun's 23.6.1777

Yes there was another James Palmer married to an Ann in Worcester. However they are not related to my family.
The names I listed are all on the Genealogist Website and relate to the PCC Will for James Palmer of Spetchley who died in 1798. That site only allows a limited search to the Parish and year. My reason for the request was to try and get the detail.
I transcribed that Will some years back and added a PDF version on my tree on the Ancestry Website. (Hakes 2017). Copies of my tree are also on here and on FMP.
The only info provided above is sadly what I already had from the Family History LDS site and which is no way complete.

Thank you anyway.

There'a a 14 day free trial offer to The Genealogist available

https://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/14day

Haven't read through, but usually on these sites you just have to make sure you cancel your subscription before the trial time is up.

Thank you for reminding me about that. Coincidently I was offered a free 21 day Diamond subscription to the Genealogist which I have taken up and will cancel.

The transcripts for Worcestershire are transcript only as the records office retains the copyright,
The transcripts were made by Malvern & District FHS and they claim to have transcribed all baptisms for the area of Worcestershire that is not now in Warwickshire. In terms of Marriages, these have in the main only been transcribed so far from 1754.
As I understand it, joining the above FHS will give free access to the same records for the County as the Genealogist but through FHS Online.
