If you want to see images of the parish records then look on the Family Search site. Thy have images for most of the Cornish parishes up to the end of the nineteenth century. |

Thank you Gwyn, ArgyllGran and Sylvia. It looks like a lot of people at the time they had a large number of children. |

Probably the same family in 1841: |

Probably most men in the area at that time were miners or seamen/fishermen - so the father's occupation might not prove anything. |

I think that by that date, baptism records show the occupation of the father. |

That’s them. Thank you. I assumed it was the same family as Margery is more unusual but it could be two different families. |

I’m working off a phone as I don’t have a computer. I’ll try to C&P. The names are the same on both records. |

Are the parents’ names the same on both records? |

I am aware that infant mortality rates were high and people did reuse names for children born later if a child died. I have two children born a year apart William Hicks 1815 and William John Hicks 1816 who were christened a year apart William 15/03/1815 and William John 16/03/1816. It is entirely possible this is two different children the names and dates seem a little coincidental. |
