Has anyone ever come across this??? did it ever happen?

example....Martha Nall baptised Buxton Derbyshire May 1788...buried 08.04.1788 at Taddington Derbys

The Burial is in the Taddington Parish records..along with an MI for the whole family.

Christening only appears (extracted allegedly) on IGI,,but does not appear in the Buxton Parish records.....

any comments would be welcome......

Thanks, as always

Perhaps its down to the transcription? As you know, some PR are really awful to try to read.

Initially I thought it might be down to the way the dates were presented ie

08.04.1788 would be 08 April 1788 if read in the UK, but 04 Aug 1788 if read by (say) an American. However, the fs.org record as above rules that one out!

The extracted record on the "old" familysearch has Martha's father as John and a date of 4th May. The source is Bishops Transcripts for St Mary's and All Saints, Chesterfield - looks like two different Martha's

It wasn't uncommon to give a newly born child the name of a deceased sibling.

I believe this is an example - I haven't verified this, nor will I - it was research for someone else's thread
