Where is Hiton Waldrist

Children of John and Mary Thomlin baptised at Hiton Waldrist.

The following all baptised as STEP alias Tomlin(e).

Please can anyone tell me what STEP means? Does it refer to step children?

John was married more than once. His wives were all called Mary but I thought he was the natural father of all the children that appear with him on census returns. If this is the case then step children doesn't seem a likely explanation.

I have to go out this morning. Back about eleven.
