I assume that you are referring to the 29 April 1789 baptism of Thomas, son of Thomas and Eleanor Jones.  :-\

OK - so baptised 1 January 1789

Thomas, son of Henry and Sarah Jones, aged 3 years, 9 months         also

No indication in the records of where the Jones family lived.

Just double checked and the older of the st martin churches in Worcester was a Catholic church, I am wondering if my Jones family were not catholic so traveled to the church in Birmingham.

Very often, daughters went back to mother's home to give birth, and the baby was baptised there.
