Hullo List Members,

I have found a similar case, but the dates are different and the churches
different, although I believe that 'Prim Meth' and 'Wesleyan' would be
similar.

Martha FRANCIS, Mother Frances, Father Robert FRANCIS Baptised 5 January
1830 in Prim Meth Walcot, Bath, Somerset, England

Martha FRANCIS, Mother Frances, Father Robert FRANCIS Baptised 31 January
1830 in Wesleyan, Bath, Somerset, England

I would appreciate any information

Thank you,
Wendy
