and of course as we know Thomas Patience married  at St Marys Church on 30 Apr 1811 to Tamar Bew who was entered as a Minor, so that helps sort out which of the Tamars who are in the baptisms?

Hi Nigel

Thanks very much for that.  This Tamar/Tabitha business is completely confusing though.  Why on earth was Sophia's mother called Tabitha in the 1841 census, if she's Tamar at Sophia's birth? Was she a stepmother or is it the same person? Aaargh!
