Although this particular record is from York County, I am hoping that someone here has better eyes than I have. I have been able to figure out that the father's name was mistranscribed as Foster when it really says Joseph, the mother is correctly listed as Jane Taylor, but I cannot figure out what the baby girl's name is. Hopefully someone with access to Ancestry.com or .ca will be able to read what these old eyes cannot.
