Good Afternoon
I have found my husband's 4 x great grandmother's baptism on Free Reg.
Name: Jane Chapman
Baptism: 29 Sep 1793 St Michael and All Angels, Newburn, Northumberland
Father: John Chapman
Mother: Jane
On the baptism record it also states the abode as "Bells Close"
When searching to see whether Jane Chapman had any siblings in the baptism registers I couldn't find any for John Chapman and Jane but I found several children baptised in the same time period to a George Chapman and a Jane (Mackclay) these records all state the abode as "Bells Close." It states they were from Durham originally and I can find their marriage there.
As for John Chapman and Jane there are a couple of potential matches but nothing that I have a paper trail for yet.

Does anyone have a way to view the original record to see if this is a transcription error and my Jane's father is actually George and not John, or whether there were 2 Chapman families with mothers called Jane in Bells Close at this time.
Many Thanks,
