I have both the Colmworth transcript and the BVRI, to which I referred in my postings of Saturday, plus the NBI. I think you may be trying to reinvent the wheel, Peter, as I spent half of Saturday putting these Hites/Hights/Hytts together. There's nothing in the BVRI indicating the ages of the late baptisms, other than Mary where her 1805 birth date is given and which I quoted earlier, and other than what can be gleaned from burials, censuses, and the fact that of the five children baptised on 18 Jul 1819 three were children of Ann Hite, and two were children of James and Ann Hite, which taken together with the A2A bastardy reference that I found, makes it fairly certain that the two legitimate children were born before 1805 when James was transported, and the other three illegitimate ones were born after 1805. There's a John EYTE in Colmworth in 1841 and I wonder if this might be another variation. Being some sort of public holiday here today in France I'll put together a tree in my genealogy program and post it later on.
