What the record says
Probable An index of the Newington baptism register names him as father of four children baptised together, one of whom is William; no record joins him to William beyond that.
| When | What | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Apr 1833 | Four children baptised together | At Newington, Surrey: Matilda (born 1820), William (1823), Thomas (1825) and Mary Ann (1827). Matilda and Thomas, opened in full, both name John Wear as father and Elizabeth as mother. | Read with care |
| 1819 | Possibly an earlier batch | Elizabeth (born 1812) and John (born 1817) were baptised together in 1819, in the same parish, with a father named John. | Read with care |
Where this comes from
Each line of the table above names the record it rests on in its third column, and the grade at the top says how well the whole is evidenced. What is not established is said under its own heading below. How the grades and the labels on the chart are decided, and every source this archive holds.
What is not established
- It is an INDEX of the register and not the register, so it gives no occupation, and the trade is the lever this archive nominated.
- Newington had a second Wear household under a John Southey Wear, so a forename match there is not an identification.
- His marriage, his trade and his death are not known.
