This is a baptism from St Michael's, Coppenhall, Crewe, Cheshire in 1864. The child is the son of Thomas MORREY and his wife Matilda CAPPER who married in the same church 10 July 1854.
They had another older son also called Charles baptised 3rd October 1858 also in the same church. The residence for the parents on that date is Shevington [Shavington] formerly Coppenhall. The surname on that occasion is given as MURRAY. It is not unusual for this family's surname to vary over time. I cannot find any death or burial for this Charles. Shavington aka Shavington cum Gresty is where Thomas' father (also Thomas) lived from 1851 to his death in 1871.
What is really puzzling me though is why on the younger Charles's baptism entry, underneath his surname are the words "Capper's son in law". This doesn't make any sense as his parents had been married for 10 years by then. This younger Charles married in 1894 and died aged 90 in 1951.
