Title: Ann Pinnegar: Name of mother
Post by: Old Mother Reilly on Sunday 07 July 24 14:12 BST (UK)

There are two entries in Parish Registers for Highworth, Wilts for the birth of Ann Pinnegar.  I am having difficulty with her mother's name and would be grateful for suggestions.

Thanks  :)

Sarah Gatall? Gatull?

The second one looks like Eatall, and the first might be either Eatell or Eatill.

The first letter is similar to the E in Edwards higher up the page.  I would go for Eatall.

There is another child baptised at Highworth to Sarah Eatall - Elizabeth Tidd Eatall.

Ancestry appear to use their middle names as their surnames in their transcripts
