'Creative' Register Keeping?
« on: Sunday 05 November 23 21:47 GMT (UK) »
Hi. Came across this recently in the registers for the Warwickshire village of Brailes.

In one register, this entry;
Christening 18 January 1801 Brailes Susanna Tylor  Mother Mary Tylor

In another register, presumably written some time later:
Christening 18 January 1801 Brailes Susanna Gregory Parents Martin and Mary Gregory

"Nothing wrong, there, two different children", I hear you say. Then another entry reads;

Marriage 18 May 1801 Brailes Martin Gregory (widower) and Mary Tyler (spinster)

Oh! What a tangled web we perceive,
where ancestors try to hide and deceive.

Small word as I have ancestors from Brailes.

This must mean Martin was very likely the father of Susan. Nice to also find evidence of a courting couple before they married.
