There's a Sarah Ann Prigg on www.freebmd.org.uk whose birth was registered in the Dec qtr of 1846 in Clifton Reg District (Ref 11 300). Does this Registration District match with that of other siblings? The entry in the IGI giving the baptism is not marked as a patron submission but has a Batch No of I024161. Clicking on that finds the baptism of an Elizabeth, on 18 July 1847 also age 1 (parents Samuel and Caroline). This is matched by a birth registration in the June qtr of 1847, again in Clifton Reg District (Ref 11 267). It looks as though whoever transcribed the registers misread or misinterpreted a mark as being one year when it should have been 1 month or 1 week. There is a date of birth given as October 1846 for Sarah Ann which is a patron submission though. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk http://www.savethegurkhas.co.uk/
