Woodplumpton Baptism

[mlmcholm]

I have a baptism for Thomas Willicy at St Anne’s Woodplumpton on 14 May 1749 (lancs opc) It states ‘Notes: The Court May 24 1749 written after this entry’. Can anyone please tell me what it could refer to as I have never come across that before? Many thanks as always

Could it be that Edmund was a married man - and Thomas was a bastard child ?

Marriage: 5 Feb 1729/30 St Anne, Woodplumpton, Lancashire, England
Edmund Willasie - Woodplumpton
Ellin Barton - Woodplumpton
    Married by Publication
...................
can we try and find out if Thomas mother was Ellin ??

Whilst scrolling through the Baptisms at St Anne’s on Lancs opc I did notice a couple of entries that were similar, one saying ‘given to court’, and the relevant date.

This is how the original Bishops Transcripts at Woodplumpton appears on Ancestry.

There are also similar notes in the burials at Woodplumpton, so I don't think it refers to the marital status of the parents.

Seems strange that they were married 1729 and only one son 20 years later, I wonder if Edmund & Ellin, had a son named Edmund and he was the father of Thomas?

You may have these?
