To amend my earlier post, I think the Do (Ditto) could be referring to Lincolnshire rather than specifically Wigtoft.

That would suggest she was born in one of the extraparochial areas I mentioned, in which case a baptism could have taken place at any convenient church.

Just to second arthurk's reading of this, I agree that it reads Do [i.e. Lincolnshire] Extrapal parts Nr Swineshead. I remember reading in A history of the Fens of south Lincolnshire that there were dozens of extra-parochial areas in the fens around Boston which were slowly merged into parishes or became parishes in their own right.

12 years old in 1851, baptised in 1838, is her birth on Free BMD?
Perhaps it would be benificial to see a larger part of the entry.

Her sisters death is recorded but the births were not as far as I could tell.

As you say, I think it is Extrapa[rochial]   

Thanks everyone.
