Can anyone suggest an explanation for this rather strange finding?
I have an Elizabeth Mallett, born in Rugeley, Staffordshire, in 1842, daughter of James Mallett and Martha Ashley.
This is the FreeBMD entry of her birth:
Births Sep 1842
Mallett Elizabeth Ellen Lichfield 17 73
I have her on the 1851 and 1861 censuses with her parents and siblings, but I haven't found her yet after that, although there is a possible marriage in West Bromwich.
What's puzzling me is that I've found the following two extracted baptisms on the IGI:
ELIZABETH ELLEN MALLETT
Female
Event(s):
Birth:
Christening: 03 AUG 1842 Saint Michael, Lichfield, Stafford, England
Parents:
Father: JAMES MALLETT
Mother: MARTHA
Batch no. C048711
ELIZABETH ELLEN MALLETT
Female
Event(s):
Birth:
Christening: 16 OCT 1842 Rugeley, Stafford, England
Parents:
Father: JAMES MALLETT
Mother: MARTHA
Batch No.: C010213
The source call number of the first one links to the BTs of St. Michael's Church, Lichfield, and the second one links to the BTs of Rugeley parish church. Rugeley is in the Lichfield registration district. It isn't on StaffsBMD yet.
There don't appear to be two couples in the area called James and Martha Mallet(t), and there isn't another birth for an Elizabeth Mallet(t) in the area around the same time.
Any suggestions?
