Oh ....interesting ...

all these baptisms at Nottingham St Patrick Roman Catholic Church to William and Elizabeth Stevens, mother's surname given as Clay. Was she married briefly before?

All baptised 30 October 1870

William born 22/02/1863
Lydia Louise born 16/01/1865
Eliza born 23/11/1866
Hannah born 03/03/1870

Hi

Yes but I've not found any details yet except her fathers name was Joseph Clay.

James Orchard head 27 cordwainer
Elizabeth wife 23

burial of a Clara Louisa Orchard Nottingham St Mary 12 Jan 1864, abode Carter Gate. Age given as 1 but suggest this is a mistranscription and should be 4?

Can't immediately see a trace of their son.
