    Error in the transcription,someone has made an assumption that it was a male. I was told it's i for him and e for her.
    Therefore you have Frances daughter of George etc.

        Bad transcription! Clearly says D and spells the name Frances like the mother. Of course the vicar might have got it wrong in the first place but that is something we could never know!!

          Transcribers are supposed to record what is there, rather than what they think it should be, although it is okay to add a note.
          The original definitely records D for daughter and the name of the child as FrancEs. I would find it more problematical if the original entry was FrancIs D or FrancEs S.

            Dearie me! Just goes to show that my brain is still addled this morning with the DNA stuff.
            I clicked on the heading thinking it was an occupation and I was intrigued to know what a bap girl or bap boy did.
            Would somebody kindly pass me that pineapple along with the Bacardi and coconut milk
