In the Cilcain Parish registers transcribed by the Clwyd Family History Society my 3g Grandmother is listed as Jane Kendrick baptised 10 June 1792 with parents Richard and Dorothy. I now have a problem because I think the entry has a mistake. Looking through the parish baptisms there are a total of 8 Kendrick girls born with mother Dorothy between 1788 and 1804
Kendrick Ann D Peter Dorothy 30 Nov 1788
Kendrick Mary D Peter Dorothy 3 Oct 1790
Kendrick Jane D Richard Dorothy 10 June 1792
Kendrick Dorothy D Peter Dorothy 2 Mar 1794
Kendrick Elizabeth D Peter Dorothy 8 Jan 1798
Kendrick Elinor D Peter Dorothy 26 Feb 1800
Kendrick Margaret D Peter Dorothy 9 May 1802
Kendrick Charlotte D Peter Dorothy 15 Feb 1804
however 7 of them give parents names as Peter and Dorothy but Jane's parents are listed as Richard and Dorothy. I have found the marriage between Peter and Dorothy in 1788 but I can find no reference to a Richard Kendrick married to a Dorothy. There is only one Dorothy mother for the period. Also you have to wonder that there is only one child born to Richard and Dorothy. Is it possible that there is a mistake in either the original record or in the transcript and Jane's father was in fact Peter. What I think is required here is a look at the original record to see if it is correct as transcribed and I wonder if this is possible please. ::Neil::
