September 2nd, 1793 - Christening of my 4th Great-Grandfather, James Clare, in Longbridge Deverill, Wiltshire, England. The son of James and Hannah Clare. England did not require births, marriages, and deaths to be registered until 1837. Prior to that Church records are usually the only source available for that information. If you are lucky the minister would note the child's date of birth but that did not happen here.
This image was taken from the "Wiltshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812" collection on Ancestry.com. It was compiled from the Longbridge Deverill Parish Registry.
