Hello,

I wonder if it would be possible for someone to look up the baptisms of these two people. As you can probably guess, they are father and son.

William Charles Sparkes born 30 March 1847

William Charles Sparkes born 3 December 1871

Actually, I'm not completely sure about whether the second one was baptized at St. Martin's, as our family records are contradictory. He may have been baptized at All Saints.

Thanks very much,
Linda
 
William Charles Sparkes, born 30 March 1847, baptised Feb 21st 1848, son of William & Elizabeth Sparkes of Coleshill. Occupation is either horse breaker or house breaker (i.e. demolition)

Sorry, I can't find the second one

Thanks, Les.

I do appreciate it. I think his father was a horse breaker rather than a house breaker. And the William Charles who was baptized here became a saddle and harness maker - a related profession, I guess.

Probably the second William Charles was baptized at All Saints after all. Thanks for looking!
