Need help regarding details of a couple of marriages and burials in Frinsted:
Marriage: Thomas Whitnall and Elizabeth Ely 19th or 27th Dec 1784 in Borden - any extra info that can help me identifying Thomas in other registers would be useful
Burial: Thomas Whitnall 28th September 1797 in Frinsted - unsure as to whether this is my Thomas or another Thomas (potentially his father)
I had made an assumption that Thomas, married in Borden, was a Thomas baptised in 1757 in Frinsted nearby (parent Thomas & Sarah). But this now seems unlikely as I have found a burial in July 1757 that seems to be the death of the same infant Thomas. So I am clutching at straws to find any info on the Thomas married in 1784 that may help with his background and potentially lead to a correct baptism of the aforementioned.

Thomas and Sarah WHITNALL had several children baptised between 1750 and 1764 including Thomas 5th May 1757 and Thomas 20th March 1764 at Frinstead.

The 1764 baptism would be the one I was after (and would make sense of everything). I had spotted many of the siblings baptisms on FamilySearch but not this one. Can I ask where you found this as I like to record sources as much as I can?
Cheers
Mark

It's from a transcription of the parish records.
