Individual Details
George Templer
(15 Jun 1818 - 19 Apr 1869)
George baptised on 27 December 1816 (Parish Register of Baptisms for Highweek 1816 p.9):
No 70: admitted George, Base born son of the above Ann Wreyford of Highweek (no profession given) Ceremony performed by C. Bruch, Curate. Previously baptised in Highweek parish by Rev. John Templer as by this certificate.
So, Ann Wreyford brought two 'base born' children to church to be baptised on the same day, 27 Dec 1816. Amelia Ann's birthdate is given. She was already nineteen months when her baptism took place. George, placed second, suggests that he may be younger, possibly by about a year, giving a date of birth in 1816. George's entry, says that he was previously 'baptised in Highweek Parish by Rev John Templer as by this certificate'. Most likely, this baptism had been an emergency one as it was thought that the baby might die and so it was necessary to conduct a quick ceremony at home, undertaken by George's brother, the Reverend John Templer, rector of Teigngrace. This would not have been registered elsewhere. The father is not named but the choice of George for the son is telling, as is the fact that Ann gave no profession, presumably being supported by the father (every other entry on the page has a declared profession for the mother).
