Hi all, Many thanks, Elizabeth, for your reply. I'm quite sure also, that NEWBAT is a transcription error for NEWPORT. I would have put money on thinking that Hannah NEWBAT's baptism in Cprd, Bidston, would be the only NEWBAT baptism entry, and so it is, but there is a fascinating tiny cluster of NEWBAT burials, also, which I'm sure relate to Hannah's family. Their occupations interest me too. What was happening in the household (which household?) at Saughall (I'm presuming it's Saughall Massie)? Was there some sort of outbreak of illness? Baptism Bidston: 26 May 1735 Hannah NEWBAT, dau. Of John NEWBAT, Occupation: *Householde, SAGH Burials Bidston: 15 February 1734 Hannah NEWBAT, wife of Henry NEWBAT, SAGH 7 May 1734 Henry NEWBAT, Occupation: *Housekeepe, SAGH 25 October 1734 John NEWBAT, Occupation: Housekeeper, FRAN Ideas, anyone? Kind regards, Yvonne
