Also if Charles and Sarah didn't get their first son baptised in nearly a year that might explain them having the second son baptised after just a couple of weeks.
Did they name any other children Charles?

Wait, what if he really was born in 1812, and they called him Frederick, but after his brother Charles died, they decided to add a Charles at the beginning of his name and got him baptised?
(Edit - oh, except the mother is too young for him to be born then, isn't she?) |

They were both c. 21 when they were married so earlier children possible. They would be 17 in 1812.
Charles was born in Huntingdon and became a gunsmith (which was the occupation of his father-in-law Joseph Chambers). I'd love to find his apprenticeship papers, and that would also give us a location for where he was living. The Halesowen marriage always puzzles me too. Was he working there? |

If it were a little parish, I would say the year was probably wrong on either the baptism or the burial, but I don't think that's possible in this case.
