Hi mgnv. somewhat belatedly I copied your find into my file and it matches my original entry for the family :-

THOMAS FIELD
Christening: 02 DEC 1763 Bossall, Yorkshire
Father: THOMAS FIELD
Mother: RACHEL
ANN 30 JAN 1763, JOHN 10 AUG 1765, RACHEL 10 JUN 1766, THOMAS 08 AUG 1767


As we all agree, the site no longer provides this level of info! From this it would seem that the first Thomas c.1763 must have died and his later brother c.1767 took his place.

I only looked up Thos #1 - here's your other guys:

Ann https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NKDZ-BQX
Thos1 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NKD8-99S
John https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NKD8-QM5
Rachel https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NKDZ-T47
Thos2 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NY7M-S9R

Yes, the site no longer provides this level of info!.
It generally provides much more, (oftem with images too) for extracted records.
There is some loss on IGI's contributed records, e.g., the original names + info is still there, but the fact some names are linked by appearing on the same group sheet is lost.

I don't often use Family Search these days .......

........... their records have been superseded for several counties by the Online Parish Records and by freereg, but also most records can now be found on other sites even if sites such as ancestry and FMP have taken them from familysearch.

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.
