Following our earlier correspondence regarding Henry BOWDEN I thought you might be interested in this. I was just tidying up some of my research when I came across a Christian name of a girl called Basiless! I was somewhat confused as I'd never heard of this name before. Was it an error, ie could this have been a boy called Basil? Knowing I then had the place, year and quarter I decided to check on FreeBMD. What a surprise - the child was definitely a girl and her name was Vasilesa. Still not totally convinced I was able to look for a baptism and much to my relief the FreeBMD was correct and agreed with the baptism. So, do be very careful what you accept as gospel.
