I have a baptism for the child but all baptisms were daughter of Thomas. Hannah, the wife, only made an appearance for the last child.

Thomas had 2 daughters called Hannah, so I'm thinking the first one died. The only possible death is this one but it mentions the mother and not the father, who was still alive. Looking at the register all the other burials mention child of the father, widow, wife of or occupation for a man.

Thomas was a comber, which I think means they would not have had a lot of money. Would Thomas have taken time off work to bury his child? If not, maybe the mother was recorded instead.

Otherwise I'm wondering if this child is not my Hannah.
