Over parish
« on: Thursday 18 August 16 16:06 BST (UK) »
my ancestors came from the parish Over. I found my 4th great grandfather Alexander Gifford and i'm looking for his future wife Elizabeth Disbrow. I found this entry = Jul 7 1760 DISBROW Elizabeth [BT Mary] dau of John & Elizabeth.Do anyone know why it says Elizabeth but the Bishop's Transcripts say Mary.

Either the vicar made a mistake when writing up the BT, or else he realised that he'd made a mistake when entering the baptism in the PR and corrected it in the BT. Doesn't help you in deciding whether the PR or the BT is the right one.

Thank you for the reply.I just looked to see if there is a marriage or burial entry for mary Disbrow can't see any so Elizabeth looks good.

In the Cambridge Parish Records it says Alexander Gifford married Elizabeth Disbrow  9th September 1783 Over Cambridgeshire.
