Two baptisms

[Maiden Stone]

I've remembered that Dinah, my ancestor, was Dina in the baptism register. Her parents apparently didn't write so may not have known how to spell the name. She was their 6th daughter and they had used up the common, familiar names  -  Ann, Jane, Alice &c. of Dinah's close female relatives. Dinah didn't write either; there were variations in the spellings of her name on records, perhaps depending on how the writer heard and interpreted it.
