Title: Little Stonham - Elizabeth Page
Post by: Westfrem on Thursday 04 April 24 12:30 BST (UK)

Hi,
Trying to ascertain if there were two children named Elizabeth born to John Page and Susan nee Freeman.
I have a baptism for the first Elizabeth on 9th May 1785 which was a private baptism
The second Elizabeth was baptised 6th June 1786. All events in Little Stonham but I have transcripts only.
I can find no burial for the first Elizabeth and I wondered if the second "baptism" was when she was received in to the church having been privately baptised the previous year.
If anyone has access to the original records could they please check to see if there is a burial or if the second baptism was just a receival.
Thanks

I looked at the Stonham Parva parish registers today and could see the two baptisms as you've stated. 

Unfortunately I couldn't see a burial for the first Elizabeth or an entry beside the second baptism to say that Elizabeth was being received into the church.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Thanks for looking at the registers for me.
Much appreciated even though there was no definitive answer
