Awre church in the chapelry of Blakeney (General)
My 2 x great Grandfather James Thomas was baptised on 10th March 1850 in the parish of Awre in the chapelry of Blakeney. Im wondering if anyone knows what actual church this would be ? Awre? Or Blakeney? Am I right in thinking 1850 is too early for it to be Blakeney? The record States that the family were living in Viney Hill at the time. Any help would be much appreciated.

All Saints Church, Blakeney I would think. Even though Blakeney wasn't a parish at that time, the church was there.

The baptism would have taken place in Blakeney. Baptism records for the church commence 1813 but it did not become a full parish until 1877. The following webpage provides further information: All Saints Church, Blakeney

Thank you I have looked at the history link and further proof is there! The vicar who performed the baptism is the same one mentioned in the article. Yeah! Mystery solved!
