This image is from Worcester, England. I believe it records the baptism of my sixth-great-grandfather, Sacheverell Causier and (yeah!) shows his father as Wm. Causier [1]. 'Causur' is a fairly common variant for Causier. I believe that this is the Sacheverell who married Betty Astmore in 1744 [2].
Two other entries, perhaps children of the same person but written as 'Will,' are for:
- William, 10 Jan 1712
- Elizabeth, 19 Oct 1717
The first image on this roll in Item 2 has "The living is a vicarage united to the Rectory of St. Nicholas, Droitwich, in 1928. For microfilm of St. Nicholas parish registers, see BA 4305." As noted below, having people in Droitwich in this era means we have to look at lots of different places!
Interestingly, the third image says "Note. In this register is recorded the baptism of Edward Winslow, a Pilgrim father, on 20 October, 1595."
There are lots of CAUSIER, WOOD, and HUNT entries in this film and the two items listed below. Most of them are, at this time, 'unknown' to me. Unfortunately, there is not an ASTWOOD or anything similar to be seen anywhere....

Notes
Additionally, these two records are also available:
Parish register printouts of Droitwich, Worcester, England (St. Peter); christenings, 1716-1875. FHL # 883,780; Item 3. The image of the title page says "Computer Printout of Saint Peter, Droitwich, Worcester, England (1716-1875) Births or Charistenings, A thru Z" and that the info is from a controlled extraction program in 1976. There are 7 CAUSIER (and variants) entries; I only know how 2 of them fit in with the line.
