Hello, From the Odell PR transcript William Hoult was iilleg son of Ekizabeth Hoult baptised 29 Dec 1811 born 31 Oct. The only other Holt in Odell up to 1813 was baptism on 19 Apr 1812 of John Holt son of Robert & Ann Holt So looks like mother Eliz did not originate from Odell, or even from Bedfordshire due to lack of any extracted baptism for her.
