Oh thanks Catherine, I was just about to do a look up on the churches.

Teresa

I've had another look at the baptism records and they are the same.
Church is S. Lukes and not S. Jude. Both records are page 62 and registrar's name is Walker.
Looks as though the person doing the transcript just wanted to cover himself as the the name of the church on page 62 is a little difficult to read, but page 63 clearly shows Luke.

Thanks Jill and Maddie

Maddie, its the correct adress 9 St Marks Place, I know the Family lived there

Teresa

Thanks Maddie,

This looks a strong possibility

You've already found the 1901 census for this Maddie and William is shown as a widower. Looks more than likely this is her.

Could it have been to appease parents/families from different/opposing religions. Maybe parents did both, each being secret from the other's side?

Or it could be good old boring clerical error notation.

Hi Catherine,

Thanks for the baptism info.
I wonder why Arthur had two baptism records?
That will be worth looking into.

Maddie, thanks that the cert I have got, the spelling could be Kitchin or Kitchen, on all the certs I have the spelling is slightly different but I do know that Arthur Kitchin who died in 1948 is correct because my Uncle remembers him and the funeral.
