I have a query on which date is the most believeable
I'm looking at the children of William Hodgson of Torrisholme nr Lancaster.
On IGI P005901, he has the following children baptised, although it states St Marys' Lancaster I think this because it was the mother church.
The family lived in or around Torrisholme which comes under the Parish of Poulton-le-Sands, however their records don't cover the dates in question.
I've looked at the parish & probate records on Ancestry and that is were the anomaly in dates comes in, the dates in brackets are the dates from Ancestry.
I'd appreciate your help/ advise/experience in deciding which dates are more likely to be the correct ones, most of them are out by one year exactly.
Ann Hodgson btm 25/02/1739 (25/02/1738)
Isabel " 28/02/1742 (28/02/1741)
Mary " 30/09/1744 (30/09/1744)
Thomas " 15/03/1747 (15/03/1746) buried I think (27/05/1747)
Alice " 06/01/1748 (06/01/1747)
Sarah " 12/11/1749 ( can't find her on Ancestry)
Thanks
