Baptised twice?

[LizzieL]

Because you cannot find a burial in the parish records you should not assume that the child baptised in 1753 did not die.

FindMyPast has transcripts only of the 2 baptisms. However, the earlier record reads 10 Jun 1754, not 10 Jun 1753 as posted. The FindMyPast entry could, of course, be transcribed incorrectly.



A I suggested in reply#5. The two year gap fits well with a typical gap between siblings

Actual images on Ancestry 1753 and 1755 on facing pages. Also mentioned in my replt #5

I have found who this William was, so you can rule him out.

Interestingly, Wiliam's parents John and Esther (nee White) have two marriage records, one transcript says 3 November 1749 (Phillimore's transcript) and the other 3 November 1750 (Bishop's transcript)  ::

I think that might be due to indexing, and taking Lady Day into consideration when converting to the modern calendar.
