Record of John Marchant in the merchant navy has his date of birth as 8 Jan 1897 in Taunton, Somerset. Mothers name is Elizabeth. Bmd records a John Merchant, Bridgewater in the March Quarter 1896 Volume 5c, page 327. Looking at the census there is a John recorded in the Parish of St Mary the Virgin North Petherton. Does anyone know if these parish records are on line? I would like to see if I can find his baptism record to establish his correct date of birth and who his parents are. Many Thanks
