It's good of you both to take an interest in this woman.
However, rather than hunting for potential baptisms in neighbouring parishes, I think the real question here is, why is there no record of her baptism in Whepstead when all the census evidence indicates that she had been born there.
The only Farrow couple having children in Whepstead in the 1790s were actually my 5th gg-grandparents, George Farrow and Mary born Farrow, who had married in 1789. There was Mary baptised in 1791, George in 1796 and John in 1799. Three further children were baptised in 1802, 1806 and 1809.
Elizabeth would fit comfortably between Mary and George.
Looking at the original baptism registers, it is clear that the population of Whepstead was small.
1791 16 baptisms
1792 15
1793 12
1794 12 baptisms - none recorded in the months of Sep., Oct. & Nov.
1795 18
1796 13
1797 26
1798 20
1799 33 baptisms - none recorded in the months of Jul., Aug. & Sep.
The periods during which there were no baptisms recorded fall in the middle of otherwise clearly legible pages in the registers.
Is it possible, or indeed likely, that the absence of a record of Elizabeth's baptism is simply the result of an oversight on the part of the local vicar?
