Sandra, According to the transcription I have they were no NASH baptisms in Hothfield 1798-1800. This is also true for Smarden and Headcorn. The Hothfield transcription has the William at the 1815 baptism with a birthdate of 6 Sep 1760! Regards Peter Hi Yvonne, A William was baptised as an adult (almost) in 1815 at Hothfield, with a birthdate, although difficult to make out the last digit, seems to be 7 Sept 1798. Parents are Richard and Elizabeth. William and Ann named their first son Richard, baptised at Hothfield. He died as an infant and their second son born at Heacorn was also named Richard. Sandra
