Lindsay, have you seen this baptism? http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...c=&pid=6560841

They're at Crown Court, occ weaver but it's another Henry which is odd

Thanks for looking, Asa.

I think that's a mistake. There's an identical baptism, but for Elizabeth on the same date with the same dob - presumably the original and the BT. There's an Elizabeth of the right age with the family in the census.

I thought it didn't make sense :-)
