The children are Anne Booth and Anne Postlethwaite.

The give away for the capital is the Anno d(omi)ni at the top of the page.

The word Painter on the Postlethwaite record is father's occupation.  See Painter Stainer on the Mills record above.

I have fixed the Ancestry transcripts for the Postlethwaite record and also for the Mills record above.  (This will take a few days to be visible to others.)

ADDED:

The Ancestry image is clearer.  It shows that the Postlethwaite mother is Alice.

You are a rock star! Thank you so much! I should have caught that about Anno Domini at the top, sometimes it takes a second pair of eyes to make things clear. Thank you so much!
