Struggling to find birth record for Jane Parfitt Baptised Dec 25 1861 Stoke Lane

[Jo Harding]

It looks to me as though there were two couples with the names George and Anne/Anna Parfitt baptising children in Stoke Lane around that time.

There are baptisms in Stoke Lane for the following:

Emma Parfitt baptised in 1857, d/o George and Anne Parfitt, abode: Stoke St Michael, Labourer.
Ben Parfitt baptised in 1859, s/0 George and Anne Parfitt, abode Stoke St Michael, Labourer.
Jane Parfitt, baptised 1861, d/o George and Anne Parfitt, as above.
Walter Sidney Parfitt, baptised 30 October 1862, s/o George and Anna Parfitt, abode Stoke St Michael, Labourer.
Amelia Parfitt, baptised 26 June 1864, d/o George and Anne Parfitt, abode Stoke St Michael, Labourer.
Arthur Sidney Parfitt, baptised 11 September 1864, s/o George and Anna Parfitt, abode Stoke St Michael, Labourer.
Emily Charlotte Parfitt, baptised 5 August 1866, d/o George and Anna Parfitt, abode Stoke St Michael, Labourer.
Mark Parfitt, baptised 28 June 1868, s/o George and Anna Parfitt, abode Stoke St Michael, Labourer.
Alfred Parfitt, baptised 29 March 1870, s/o George and Anna Parfitt, abode Stoke St Michael, Labourer.
Richmond Oliver Parfitt, baptised 28 January 1874, s/o George and Anna Parfitt, abode Stoke St Michael, Labourer.
Elizabeth Anne Parfitt, baptised 15 September 1878, d/o George and Anna Parfitt, abode Stoke St Michael, Labourer.
Elizabeth Anne Parfitt, baptised 2 May 1880, d/o George and Anna Parfitt, abode Stoke St Michael, Labourer.

The reason I suspect they were two couples is because of the baptisms of Amelia in 26 June 1864 to George and Anne Parfitt, then of Arthur Sidney Parfitt on 11 September 1864, to George and Anna Parfitt. There is just 3 months between these baptisms.

There are Parfitts galore in Stoke St Michael!

Just to conclude the situation on the two couples.

Marriage St Vigor, Stratton on the Fosse, 07/03/1859, George Parfitt, age 23, bachelor, Labourer, abode Stokes Bottom Stratton on the Fosse, married Hannah Southway, age 22, spinster, abode Stokes Bottom Stratton on the Fosse. Groom's father Henry Parfitt, Mason. Bride's father Joseph Southway, pensioner. Witnesses were: William Parfitt and Ann Parfitt.

They had a son, Albert Henry Parfitt,  baptised in Stratton on the Fosse on 29 May 1859. The register shows he was the son of George and Anna Parfitt of Stokes Bottom. George a Labourer.

Just thought I would let you all know that the birth certificate arrived today for "PURFITT" and it is correct for Jane Parfitt - the cert shows she was born 17 Dec 1861 to George and Ann Parfitt (nee Rapps). The birth was registered 14 Jan. 1862. This links in with the baptism record! Thank you all again!
