Title: Mary Otley born 1771
Post by: MacGrigor on Saturday 28 April 18 18:34 BST (UK)

Hello,

I recently found a baptism on FamilySearch. The place of baptism is only given as 'Essex', and the parents are given as two female names. I believe it was 1771, but I forget the exact date. Can anyone view the actual record and clear these two problems up?

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam.

Mary's baptism (2 April 1771) is also on FreeReg with parents Mary and Ann, however these notes have been added -

A clear error , probably, contemporaneously, should be Matthew

Thank you. I found her parents' marriage record from the same church in 1758.
