Hi List

As Pauline suggests ,two families may be involved here , one way is to
find other baptimns to these names , and even as far as marriages, that
way you can see which way both couples are going if any , I at first
thought that the second dates are death dates , but unless they changed
to middle names at a death , stump me.

In those days I think they only used one book for everything, till
certain Laws arrived.
