I wonder can some kind person, possibly with better software than mine, decipher Elizabeth's baptism date.at Christleton, Cheshire some time in July 1833. Unfortunately, the original ink on the doc has faded or watered down too much when written.
The entry, presumably from the bishop's transcripts shows:
No. 538 Born Jan 8th Baptised July ?? (date apparently hidden under "No.538") Elizabeth Daughter of William and Allice (sic) Fleet Christleton Shoemaker ..."
Can anyone, possibly with access to great magnification", read the July date for Elizabeth's baptism, please?
In anticipation, many thanks.

FindMyPast - clear image from parish register (rather than BT):
Born 8 January 1833
No date stated, but in July for the baptism. Somewhere between 11 and 20.

Yes, I could see that as well. Really curious if no baptismal date was entered as the document is a baptismal register, of course.
