Hello, Chris,
I have looked at the IGI entries for the bapts of Jane Bowering 12t Sept. 1819, also those of Jane & Charlotte Bowering, same date 21st Aug.1825. If you look at the bottomof these entries you will see that these have been submitted by a member of the LSD church, meaning that they have not been transcibed from the original church record, therefore errors do occur & these have to be viewed wth a certan amounty leniency.
Because Jane & Charlotte were baptised on the same day, it does not follow that they were twins. They could have been born some years apart but not baptised until the same day. Sometimes you wil find as many as 8 or more children of onen family all bapt the same day altho' born over quite a few years, We jokingly say perhaps parents thought they would get a quantity discount or it was cheaper by the dozen.
Have you checked the 1841 census for this family ? If not, here it is.
1841 census
HO107/286/ book 8 folio 7 page 8
St Martin Winterbourne Dorset
James Bowering age 40 Ag Lab born in county Yes
Ann age 45 b ditto
Louisa age 20 b ditto
John age 20 b ditto
Charles age 15 b ditto
Charlotte age 15 b ditto
Rebecca age 10 b ditto
The Vital Records Index shows this family
All children of James & Ann Bowering
Louisa bapt 31 st Jan 1817 Sydling St Mary
Jane Shorto bapt 12 Sept. 1819 b ditto
Charles bapt 19th June 1823 b ditto
Charlotte bapt 21st Aug 1825 Winterbourne St Martin
Jane bapt 21st Aug, 1825 b ditto
Rebecca bapt 7th Dec 1828 b ditto
Samuel bapt 7th Dec 1828 b ditto
So it looks as tho' your two Janes were baptised at diferenct churches.
Also, it is a pity that neither Jane is shown in the 1841 census, so it is still not certain which Jane died. However there is this entry.
1841 census
HO107/972 book 5 folio 19 page 20
High St Taunton
Jane Bowering age 20 F S not born in county.
Thro'out the name is shown as either Bowring or Bowering.
I have just checked the National Burial Index, this shows,
Jane Shorto Bowering
buried 27th Aug 1820 Syding St Nicholas.
This may be the answer to your problem, it could be that both Janes died, the second one would be classed as an infant if born 1825, died 1826

Hi Meliora
many many thanks for that information, it is really appreciated. I am fairly new to all this research, and I was given a lot of information from someone else in the family who was doing all this research and of course I thought that everything he gave me was correct...HOW WRONG COULD I BE.
I now find myself going over everything and having to almost restart, but it is a good exercise.
the research I received has Jane Shorto Bowering married with children..oh dear.
I do have one more question if you dont mind.
the page that I have from the parish register does not give a name of a parent, just Janes and the date of burial. I think now that it may not be the second Jane, as I have been looking and searching and there are quite a few Jane Bowrings all born around that time. some of them belonging to my relatives and others I am not sure about. How do I go about finding who the parents were for this infant Jane...do you have any idea.
Once again many thanks..
Cheers
Chris

Hi Christ,
Have you tried a general search on the OPC Dorset site?
