Hi, welcome to RootsChat
Assuming that the baptism took place in an Anglican chrch, at that date, Ryde was not a separate parish, but a chapelry of Newchurch.
Have you any reason to think that Mary's parents were non-conformist? Did either of them come from the Isle of Wight that you know of?

Hi Nell. The Westmoreland entry is for the parish church, and all later events in the family are C of E, so probably not non-conformist. I'm wondering if someone made an error in a transcription at some point, maybe conflating 2 quite separate events, and it's been repeated in later indexes. The 2 variant entries appear on the IGI and on Ancestry - if you put Margaret Langhorn, b 1795 into the latter, you get 2 entries for Ryde, one for Westmoreland as the first 3 results. The family are from Cumbria, all Margaret's siblings were born there and she married there, so Ryde does seem very unlikely, as does a total coincidence of names and dates, given that it's not a common surname. I was hoping that someone might be able to do a physical check to be absolutely sure, but if there was no church in Ryde at the time, that perhaps confirms an error.
