Can someone please explain why the responses to my request were deleted? There was some very valuable information that I was looking forward to doing more research on, and now they are gone??

@maddys52 - Can you please share with me how and where you found this info? I've just started researching this branch, and the records I've found on Family Search aren't the originals. I'd really like to be able to find the original parish records if possible. Thank you!

Just found this Friar Wadden Huish and Corton Huish, both being  a hamlet of Portesham

There is also an advertisment for a new railway line in 1873 that has its route:
"A railway commencing in the parish of Upwey ... Upwey Elwen, Buckland Ripers, Broadwey, otherwise Broadway, Nottington Portesham, otherwise Portisham, East Huish, West Huish, East Shilvington, otherwise East Shilvinghampton, West Shilvington, otherwise West Shilvinghampton, Waddon, Fryars Wadden, Corfe Yate, otherwise Coryates, Corton, East Elwoth, West Elworth, and Abbotsbury, or some of them, all in the County of Dorset ..."

 Friday,  Mar. 7, 1873

So "Huish" is most likely Hewish Hill on this 1886 map
https://maps.nls.uk/view/101447246#zoom=4.7&lat=2042&lon=4023&layers=BT

"Hewish Hill Cottages" and "East Hewish Dairy" being possible locations for Elizabeth GILL.

I would suggest that the baptism of Elizabeth GILL at Upwey 25 Jan 1801 is very likely then, Upway being very close to Hewish Hill.

Modified to add:
Looking at the image of the parish register, it has Robert and Ann GILL of "Friar Whaddon". Friar Waddon is just north of Hewish.
