Mary Holton baptised 11 October 1800 Market Deeping - Completed

[Barnford]

I wonder if anyone can confirm the baptism of Mary Holton in Market Deeping on the 11th October 1800, daughter of William and Mary, from a source other than the IGI, which is where I have found it.

The entry does not appear in the FreeREG transcription of baptisms in Market Deeping and I would like to discover whether it is a rogue record in the IGI or an omission in the FreeREG records.

Many thanks

Clive

Thank you very much. I did try searching with Soundex enabled but it obviously did not pick that variation up - when I tried, at least.

I will pass this on to FreeREG, so that they can check their transcription.

Thanks again

I think with Soundex you have to have at least the first letter right.  It was just a case of trial and error.

I have been in touch with the FreeREG Lincolnshire co-ordinator and he confirms that the source entry has been made with a 'K' rather than an 'H'. He does agree in this case that it should read Holton, so he will alter it and add a note to explain the amendment.

All I need to do now is to find out what happened to her; she, and her father William, just appear to vanish from the world of records.
