Struggling to find Sylvia Pargeter abt 1823, Corsham, Wiltshire, along with her illegitimate son, Mark Henry Pargeter...

Mark Henry was baptised in Corsham 8.7.1849...can find no trace other than this record, found on Family Search.

Sylvia is with her parents..Robert and Eliza in 1841

Married to George King by 1861

Any help with Sylvia and her son, in 1851, would be much appreciated

Mike*...thank you, I feel you must be correct here, now its proving it...I just assumed Henry was a "late arrival" for Robert and Eliza, cannot find a birth to fit though? I wonder why he wasn't baptised until 1849...

Vicci...thank you for finding Sylvia, as Andy said, no wonder It was a struggle on Ancestry..

Andy..thank you for Ancestry version and correction..

Edit...Mike*, why is the Stourbridge Henry a Red Herring, please .Is it just Sept 1841 registration ?
