Agree, except that I think maiden name of mother might be Dowie,  or maybe Lowie

Also time of birth says 4 h(ours) am.  Being a bit pedantic there!

Agree Dowie, Wiggy & the time. Nothing wrong with pedantry, accuracy is an essential of family history  ;D

I have just found this baptism record which may help to confirm Eliza's maiden name?
Also, I see (i think) pm near his name, does that mean pre marriage?

Does look like 'PM' and 'Lawful' is missing wouldn't have thought that a minister would start doing maths to work out conception date, parents were definitely married before Willam jnr's birth..

Also confusing as Mother's maiden name now spelt Dowey.  Probably just as the scribe heard it!  So could have been either!

Sorry Josey and Kiwi2011,  I was being facetious re date of birth.  . . . .  happens all the time with births!!

It is interesting that the word 'lawful' is absent after William's name but is present for all the others though.

I had toyed with posting some wry comment myself  ;D

Kiwi2011 - does this 'PM' appear by any other baptisms? Is there another capital 'P' on the same page to compare?
