Interpreting this record about Charles Grayton 1811

[Stanwix England]

I'm looking at a Baptism record for Charles Grayton, who born on 12th June 1811 and baptised 16th June 1811, in Snaith.

It says 'Charles Grayton, son of Robert Grayton waterman of Carlton, son of William Grayton by Lydia his wife.'

Do you interpret that to mean that Charles Grayton, is the grandson of William Grayton and Lydia?

Or that Charles Grayton is the son of Robert Grayton and Lydia?

I thought that Robert Grayton had married a Mary Clarkson on 26th November 1799, and that they had at least two children, Charles Grayton born 1811 and Mary Grayton born 1818.

A baptism record for Mary Grayton says Mary was baptised on Jun 14th 1818 and that she was the daughter of Robert Grayton, waterman, Carlton and Mary Clarkson.

So to me that seems pretty conclusive that Mary was Robert's wife. And that Lydia is Robert's mother and Charles's grandmother?

It's just a really odd format for me and not one that I've ever seen before, so it through me off.

Thank you for your time.

Probably a Dade register which has quite a lot of detail.

Your Charles Grayton is the son of Robert a waterman of Carlton

and Robert is the son of William Grayton and Lydia.

Or that Charles Grayton is the son of Robert Grayton and Lydia?

Yes. My interpretation is that Charles is the son of Robert and Lydia. Robert's father is William.

While it may be ambiguously written, it is most unlikely that Charles' grandmother would be listed but not his mother.

Yes, I agree with this.

The image on FindMyPast is a typical Dade-type register -

Charles Grayton son of Robert Grayton Waterman of Carlton, son of William Grayton by Lydia his wife.  (Mother) Mary daughter of Robert Clarkson by Hannah his wife.

Thank you BumbleB for posting details from the image. So it appears that the OP did not quote the full record, which is spread across two pages. Hence the confusion.

Sorry Bumble B, for some reason I don't get the second page on my link, so I wasn't aware of that.

No problem at all.  Dade registers are SO useful - 14 parishes in Yorkshire Ainsty, 23 in York, 46 in ER, 33 in NR and 42 in WR.  Plus 3 in Cheshire, 8 in Nottinghamshire and 1 in Surrey.
