This looks as though it could be right. I notice that the surname is spelled Paul rather than Paull, which is probably why I couldn't find it. Thanks
While I'm on this thread, could someone please please do me a quick Census check for Thomas, for the 1851 Census, Chard, I think it will also be for Paul, rather than Paull. It will save me a trip to the Library (in the rain!) Thanks loads.

Hello Helen
Thank you so much for your very quick reply. So my baptism record is right! I wonder why freebmd and FMP are showing 1845 as year of birth? I'm assuming the records are for the same Thomas Paull? Could this be the year the birth was registered, rather than year of birth? If so, it's a bit confusing, because the year of birth is often the only way to identify a person as being the right one, especially with more common names.

Hiya
I am trying to find out about one of my ancestors named Thomas Paull. I have a baptism record from Winsham Parish Church (Chard, Somerset) for Thomas Paull, 02/07/1843, parents Louis and ........., father's occupation Labourer. I got this record from a transcription on 'Winsham Web Museum' but the records are on PDFs which look like they've been copied from a spreadsheet, but bits of the information are missing, like the mothers name, and of course there may be transcription errors. I think this must be the right record though, because my Thomas' parents are John Lewis (known as Lewis or Louis) and Elizabeth (nee North). However, on freebmd and Find My Past the only birth records for Thomas Paull, Chard, are Q4 1845, so I'm not sure which year is right? Just to confuse things, the 1861 Census gives his year of birth as 1844 (I know Census returns are notorious for having the wrong dates on though!) Is there an easy way to resolve this, other than ordering a Birth Certificate?
Thanks for reading this.
