Thank you Tony, You have probably given me the clues I needed. My Sarah Waters was born in about 1815 - SOMEWHERE, to John & Martha WATERS (she thought Abergavenny.) The fact they have an abode and John has an occupation in 1820, doesn't sound as though they just popped back to baptise a 4/5 yr old child; and apparently IGI has transcribed date correctly. Thanks for taking the trouble. Kind regards, Dawn (Tasmania)
