Please can I run this past you wiser souls.
I have a Mary Marshall who has an illegit child Jane in Aug 1806 Warehorne
In Oct 1806 a Mary Marshall m William Wood Warehorne.
There are born in Warehorne 2 Mary Marshalls in the 1770 and 80's to the Stephen and Susannah family and both die.
In 1786 Stephen Marshall dies.
Is it right to suppose that another Mary was born around this time and not christened?
I cannot find this family in the census although in the 51 there is a William Wood m to a Mary from Folkestone. Wm Wood is from Ham Street next to Warehorne. both born 1786.
Do hope this is clear

I'm not clear what information you are trying to discover but I would assume at that time that nearly all babies were christened.
Where do Stephen and Susanna fit into it?
-
Stephen and Susanna Marshall are the parents of 2 dead Mary Marshalls.
I want to know if others have experienced children being born and not christened for whatever reason. This is the only explanation I can come up with.
Thanks for your time

my question was posted a long time ago and I am still struggling with this. As far as I can see the other option would be another Mary Marshall from another family gave birth to a Jane Marshall and then 2 months after married William Wood in 1806. This in Warehorne.
I'd be happy to hear from anyone with this family.
Thank you
