Name Leonard MOUNTFORD

Relationship with Teresa Ann GOATHAM

Born 5 Nov 1899 Burslem, Staffordshire, England

GRO ref: Mountford, Leonard q4 1899 Wolstanton RD 6b 137; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Gotham
Local ref: MOUNTFORD, Leonard 1899 sub-district: Burslem, registers at: Stoke-On-Trent, mother's maiden name: GOTHAM, ref: BUR/127/086
Birthplace from the 1901 census (where shown as aged 1)
Actual date from the 1939 register

Baptised 21 Nov 1899 St. Werburgh’s Church, Sneyd, Staffordshire, England

From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 9 Sep 2021)
"Nov 21 No. 28, Leonard, parents Thomas & Eliza, surname: Mountford, abode: 68 Leonard S^t, father a Potter, ceremony performed by G. B. Brindley" with in left margin 'S^t. W' and under heading 'Baptisms solemnized in the Parish of Sneyd ... One Thousand eight Hundred and ninety nine'
A mission church of St. Werburgh opened in 1895, and this was presumably what 'St W' stands for; those entries not so marked (the majority) were presumably in the Parish Chruch of Holy Trinity.
A larger building for St. Werburgh's was needed by 1953 (by then a parish in its own right), so the current St. Werburgh's is not where Leonard would have been baptised. However, Holt Trinity Church was damaged through mining subsidence in 1956 and moved to the building which had been St. Werburgh's, which was reconsecrated as Holy Trinity!
So, it was in the building now called Holy Trinity that Leonard was baptised!

	Although there were other Leonard Mountfords in the area of a similar age, only one was born in 1899, so assuming date in the 1939 register is correct that shows that it was this Leonard who married Florence Dutton. GRO ref: Mountford, Leonard to DUTTON, Florence q3 1924 Stoke T. RD 6b 373
