I am trying to get some dates for my Samuel Prince. I have him as being the son of Samuel Prince and Sarah Betridge, born in 1794 in Atherstone, he was christened in Mancetter on 2nd February 1794. He married Mary Ann Fox in Mancetter after Banns on 5th August 1816. They were the parents of William Prince born in Atherstone on 12th December 1837.
My problem is that Samuel and Sarah appear to have had TWO sons named Samuel, the second being christened in Mancetter on 17th July 1796! I am assuming that the first Samuel died before the birth of the second Samuel and that it is the later Samuel who is my ancestor but I can't find any burial dates or deaths for my 1794 Samuel.
Are Mancetter and Atherstone linked in any way or have I got the wrong Samuel and Sarah? If these are my Samuel and sarah where is Samuel number 1's death record?

Any help most gratefully received.
