Re: Transcription check.

Hello Angela,

I'm looking at the pic and it appears to 'clearly' state Charles or Charley and Henry, it is very odd.
Neither Ancestry or FMP have the baptisms.

1911 census has a Henry and Charlotte husband and wife both born in Warsop, Notts.
1873 Jun q possible marriage of Charlotte Bird in Worksop.

I Suggest it is Charly.

Regards.

Terry

Re: Transcription check.

I particularly remember checking this baptism and wish I had gone with my instinct in writing a note on it to say the image clearly says Charles & Henry. I had a check around on records to try and find some proof of who the parents were but couldn't find anything to be sure. I did wonder if Henry was short for Henrietta.

Thanks both.

I know we always transcribe "as is". Just thought it looked strange.
