I knew there was something else..... Other burials for children in Naseby around the same time and entered up by the same vicar mention the name of the mother was well as the father. I have seen before an apparent level of contempt from C of E vicars when having to bury non-conformist children in their churchyard and I wondered if this vicar was irritated (or insert other adjective) that this Charles Wilford didn't normally attend his church and the child was not baptised there, so why would he bother with writing the wife's name down?

My Bedfordshire non-conformists buried their babies in the C of E but the older children/adults seem to have been interred somewhere where the records have not survived, so presumably a non-conformist chapel (I've been picking away at them for 25 years+!)
