This is an entry in a PR:
Surname:Wiseman Forenames:Charles Baptism Year:1784 Baptism Month:NOV Baptism Day:14 Mother:Elizabeth Pitchers Father:Thomas Wiseman Place:Northfleet County:Kent Source:St.Botolph Northfleet baptisms 1775-1837
The vicar seems to have given a surname for Elizabeth, which is unusual. If I have the right person the Thomas was married to a woman called Susannah in 1784 (since 1778). Of course it might be a late baptism and Charles might be over 6. Or does the mention of the mother's surname indicate that the parents were not married to each other? maybe Charles is an illegitimate son and Thomas has consented to him taking his surname?
