Thank you Merry. I hadn't rechecked Stephen's death which would have solved it all. I do wonder why they baptised Sarah twice.

Poor Rachel ended up in an institution, which is sad.

John and Sarah's marriages above look good so I just have to find Mary Anne after 1851 and the family is all good.

I do wonder why they baptised Sarah twice.

Couple chose a Methodist baptism, family members went wild, couple gave in and had a C of E baptism too?

Possibly, just seems odd to decide to do it for child number 4.

I did wonder if she was sick so they went to the nearest church, then did it properly the next week?

[Merry]

Could be.
