The baptisms 1813-1837 haven't made it onto FreeREG yet, though they are in progress. A quick look at the fiches gives the following children of William and Jane Frost, Hinton St George, Thatcher.

20 Feb 1814. John
4 Feb 1815, Edward
30 Nov 1817, Henry
16 Jul 1820, Elizabeth
14 Jul 1822, Charles

No sign of a Thomas.

Thanks David. Thats very odd. Thomas must have been the eldest of William and Jane and all the census's he is listed on say he was born in Hinton St George. Is there any reason do you think why his baptism is not listed? His siblings all are.

Cheers

No, not the eldest, that would be Mary Ann in 1807. I was assuming you had the baptisms from before 1813 as they're on FreeREG.

Ah, thanks David. Really helpful. So why do you think Thomas is not there??

There's room for Thomas between Jane and John. Perhaps he was baptised elsewhere, or the vicar forgot to record it, or not baptised at all. Or perhaps he was baptised as John but changed his name.
