Great Waltham baptism look up request

[Olicana]

I have found two separate baptisms on 1 January 1832, both in Great Waltham, both for William Poulton, both with mother Elizabeth, but one has father William and the other has father James 

I suspect, these refer to the same child and the father has been mistranscribed in one of the records. Could someone look this baptism up and check for me please?

Thank you

I think it's William not James.

There are two baptism sources at the bottom of that page; one listing James as father and one listing William. William Poulter has been entered as the father, but the Poulters were a different family living in the same area at the same time, so I think that may be erroneous.

Is it possible to see the actual baptism registration to see which is correct?

There's nothing on FreeReg so you would probably have to contact Seax.

Who does he name as his Father on his M/C?
