I found a beauty in a Dade register - Doncaster or Bentley, I think,
which read something like
Sarah the 4th child and 2nd daughter of Joseph XX carpenter of this
parish son of john XX of Wortley near Leeds and of Sarah his wife
daughter of William YY stonemason of Adlingfleet born/bp
It took up so much room on the page that the writing got smaller and
then the detail got restricted, but for the 5 years or so it lasted, it
was great. The lead to the origins of the two was an enormous help,
since both names were relatively common.
