Francis Tims-Smith
According to various Ancestry trees, Francis Tims-Smith had vital dates:
Birth 15 MAR 1757 • Nash, Buckinghamshire, England Death 15 AUG 1839 • Whaddon, Buckinghamshire, England His parents are given as Francis Smith and Jane Timms. As his death is recorded as Francis Timbs, I assume his parents were not married when he was born, and may not ever have married. I further assume that someone has done proper research which has been copied remorselessly. Are the baptisms for Nash online somewhere? I cannot find them on Family Search.

Thanks, Elizabeth! I didn't even think of FMP.
So he was Francis Smith TIMMS, and Esther's baptism was presumably that of daughter of Francis and Elizabeth Smith-Timms.
