This entry was actually a copy of the original - so someone else found it interesting, while the register was still in use.  Presumably most priests were not willing to marry 2 women, so one of them 'became a man' - simple solution!

Just returned to Thomas Langfield and found my posting from last year, I am mortified that I did not thank dobfarm for his response. Dobfarm it was very helpful, thank you.  I have now found a suitable Langfield (no first name given) born Castleford 1696 BUT it is on FamilySearch with the scan on FindMyPast to which I no longer have access and neither does my local library.  If anyone could look at the scan for the finer details - like the child's name and the father's name I would be very greatful.  Thank you in anticipation.

Thank you both - I should have spotted that myself.  I must be grateful that there is an entry to be found.  It does look as if this is one written after the event - quite a long-winded entry.

But we don't know what the next few would have been named!  Timothy Eden's husband remarries after her early death and has a further 10 children - but no Edens.

I have a 6xGreat grandmother Ann Illingworth 1634 - 1701, married to John Ambler 1634 - 1714.

Thanks for your interest

Many thanks for your support!  The 6 years were looking for Eden's birth/baptism record - I come to Rootschat for more often -  everyone is so helpful.
