Is that a 'contributed' or 'indexed' entry to Family Search?

sounds like indexed with the actual baptism date.

Could this be your lady from FreeBMD,

Mary Jane Sharp, birth registered Sept qtr 1848 Newark Vol 15 P 336 & then this marriage, Jane Sharp registered June qtr Newark 1873 7b 658, on the same page is John Parker. Newark is the reg district for Claypole, it looks to me like you have the same lady just using either of her names at will.

Hi

Familysearch has the following christening
Florence Parker christened 5/5/1889, Spittlegate, Lincoln, parents are John & Mary Jane Parker

Trouble is there are several Florence Parkers of similar age around.

"Our " one is always Florence Rose (just Rose on 1901)
Birth
Jul/Aug/Sep 1888
Grantham
ref 7a 468
Florence Rose Parker

So that baptism may well be her, but it also may not be!

e.g 1901 has a widowed John Parker with a 13 yr old daughter FLorence (RG13 3055 120 3) living in Albert Terrace, Spittlegate - so that baotism may be her?

In fact I am sure that baptism is the SPittlegate Parkers and not the Hards Yard ones - 'cos if you go back to 1891, the mother was indeed Mary J!

RG 12 2585 101 23 (Florence age 3, lots of siblings)

So that is at least one other John /Mary Jane couple in the area.
So, no way of knowing if that John/Mary Jane Sharp marriage is which couple.

Need a birth cert!

To confuse matters more there is a marriage registered in Peterborough Dec qtr 1872 3b 565 with a John Parker & a Mary Jane Laston on the same page. As the Spittlegate Parker's on the 1891 were born Northants & some of the children born Peterborough this does look like their marriage but then again maybe not. $:-\$ I do agree that a birth cert is the only way to be sure.

Thanks for everyone's input. I'll read through the information and go from there.

I can do a 1911 lookup myself, it's just a matter of making sure I have the right Parkers.

Thanks,
Nigel
