Thomas FARR baptism query, Foleshill

[kelly]

I have a query regarding a possible baptism for my 4 x great grandfather, Thomas Farr/Fare/Fayer. I know from later census data and other sources relating to the time when he was living in Cornwall after leaving the Royal Marines, that he was born c.1790 in Coventry and that his father was a miner called Thomas Farr.
 The only possible baptism I have been able to find for him is in Foleshill (which I understand is near to Coventry?). However, the parish register shows the baptism of Thomas Farr, son to Thomas O'Hayre and Hannah O'Hayre. Am I looking at a middle name here (none of the other baptism entries on the page show middle names) or could this be the Thomas Farr I'm looking for?  If so, why would he have a different name from his parents?  Any help much appreciated

I wonder if Hannah O'Hayre was previously a Farr - could you find her marriage to check?

Was Thomas a baby baptism or was he an older child?  If older maybe Thomas O' wasn't his real father

Thanks Milliepede for the suggestions  I have tried various combinations of names for his parents' marriage in the past without success, but you have prompted me to look again! If the baptism is the one I am looking for then Thomas would definitely have been a baby as I know from his 2nd marriage cert. and his death cert. that he was born 1790.

Best wishes

Hi

Here is the record from Familysearch

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JQT2-75F

Have you seen the actual record, has it is transcribed differently on this records, it looks like a doubled barrelled name to me, and very often along the line, they lose one of them along the way, I have had situations where they have used, either or, which make the research difficult.

Other than that, it may be a mistake, when it was entered in the register by the Vicar  I believe these were just written down on a piece of paper, then entered later in the register and are prone to error's

Thank you very much for this link. I hadn't seen this particular familysesrch record! I had only seen the record for O'Hayre on familysesrch and on Ancestry but, as you say, this entry looks much more like a double barrelled name for Thomas. I think I will keep this record as a 'definite maybe' for the time being.

Many thanks for your help.
