Looking at the fact Ruth Smith born/baptised at St. Thomas, Dudley on 15 January 1778. Baptised at Pelsall, Staffs on 15 February 1778. Buried 18 May 1862 in Stafford co. Would it have been possible for Ruth being baptised at two different places a month apart or was she actually born at St.Thomas, Dudley on 15 January 1778 and baptised at Pelsall, Staffs a month later?

Thanks for the info on Sarah Weaver's christening having taken place at Park Lane Presbyterian. How and where could I access IGI?

Also I can't find records on Sarah Weaver's death.

The Baptism was at St Giles Rowley Regis

So I can add in Ruths possible bapt in notes on Bcc
will do that thanks rf.

Waltzer the igi info can be viewed here
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/igi

Dudley archives will have the entry on film I think available to view
so you can see a copy of the original entry.

Looks like Ruth was born Rowley Regis to me from census

was there anything else on Ruth you needed?

Many thanks and yes, I do use the Family Search, only just noticed the small IGI above the search boxes.

Flagging to arch if all done
