Hello, there is a baptism on FMP for James Jephson 1847 baptised at West Keal in Lincolnshire. Could someone please take a look, thank you. His baptism is all I need, thanks.

I’ve looked at the FMP record before, so there must be another thread

Thanks for the above Erika. I had a Jepson/Race thread but it didn't have James baptism. I tried to edit the thread to add the above but when I pressed edit and submit, the thread which was from 2020 didn't come to the top of the board. I don't know where I am going wrong.

I know you asked only for the baptism, but it may help you to know that in 1861, the surname is transcribed on FMP as Jipson, in 1851 as Gipson, and from 1871 to 1891 as Jepson

Thank you, transcription of surnames can be a nightmare.
