I have found records for the baptism of Maria Ellena Fewell 27 March 1813 in St George, Hanover Square, and Maria Eleanor Fewell 5 April 1813 in Little Canfield All Saints, Essex. |

You may well be right in your assumption re the Poor Law, Keith. |

I'm quite sure the two baptisms are for the same child. |

Yes, I was also 99.999% convinced that they are for the same person. London and Little Canfield are not at opposite ends of the earth, but even so I would have thought it quite a hike for what was probably an agricultural labourer's family. |

I'd also go along with the Poor Law suggestion. |

I asked the same question some years ago Keith but mine were baptised in the same place so 'right of settlement' doesn't come into play in my case. |

The image of the Little Canfield entry gives James' occupation as Farmer and their abode as Lt Canfield. It was signed by J Butterfield curate. |

One is a church record and the other is from the Bishops Transcripts entry.as most parishes had a Diocese of head of the county and BT were sent a copy to be entered into records archived at head of the Bishops Diocese===a Cathedral.. |

Oh dear, I hadn't seen several of these replies (no alert from GR), I'm sorry, and thank you for adding your thoughts. |

Keith, Genes do not send out ‘alerts’ when someone adds a post to your thread. They do, however, let you know if someone sends you a pm. |

I wondered about that because I "seem to recall" © receiving them in the past. So I checked and at the top of the page "Watched Threads" I find this: |

Yes, but there are several bits of GR website that don't work as they are supposed to - and never will, in spite of many suggestions and complaints by members. |
