Talk:Philip Henry Nind

Place of birth
Because Nind is born in 1831, it is prior to civil registation in England in 1837 (that is, there was no registration of birth that would provide us with a birth certificate). Normal practice to establish birth details in England prior to civil registration is to look for records of baptism and declarations of place of birth in one or more of the UK censuses. For Philip Henry Nind, we find him in the 1891 census in England listing his birthplace as Wargrave, Berkshire ( Ancestry subscription required). This is consistent with a baptism of Philip Henry Hind (parents Philip Henry and Agnes) in Wargrave, Berkshire on 24 July 1832 ( Ancestry subscription required). So I think the early claim of Berkshire was correct. I'll add some citations (it's always frustrating when they are behind a paywall). Kerry (talk) 20:47, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
