Hello Nanny
I wondered if you had solved the problem?
On Ancestry there are what seems to be the Bishops's Transcripts which (in the case I looked at, Josia bap. February 7 1763) gives Mary as the mother's name. The original register I haven't seen but I suppose that shows Martha, and that was used by Familysearch from whatever IRI is. As the date is the same it must be the same child. I suggest that the clerk who made the copy just made a mistake, but it's odd that it happened three times.
I have
Josia Feb 7 1763
Martha Mar 19 1764
Isaac Jun 16 1766
Mary Oct 18 1769 (not on Findmypast)
Elizabeth Mar 30 1772
Thomas Apr 11 1773
I am researching for a friend descended from Thomas & Lydia's daughter Elizabeth.
Yours,
Rory
