As we have both found a baptism of Susannah Smith, one in Burton Bradstock (1792) and one in Tolpuddle (1787) is there any way she could have been baptised twice with different parents? or are they different people? James is a labourer in 1841 and a mason in 1851 and 1861 so that could follow.

I have traced my family back to Selina Smith of Burton Bradstock and think she was baptised in Axminster on 3rd june 1818 and born on 30 Nov 1816. She is listed as Celena Smith, daughter of James and Susan Smith of Burton in Dorset. I have found Susannah Lovelass married to James Smith 6 Jun 1814 as others have, and a baptism on 25th December 1792 to William and Elizabeth. They are in the 1841 census of Bradpole, Bridport in 1841. I have not been able to link this Lovelass (Lovelace) family to Tolpuddle but it was a family comment by my grandmother that we are related to the Tolpuddle Martyrs. The only Susan Smith, James Smith I can find in other censuses are in Weymouth where Susan is listed as from Tolpuddle so do not know if they are the same.
