No, I take that back.
If you take a look at the baptisms for that batch number there are a lot of such entries...the surname of the child is given as mothers maiden name or father's christian name
I've not seen that before..is it a tradition of Welsh naming???

So is he Jeremiah Newell
or Jeremiah Thomas
or jeremiah Jeremiah????

Does he appear in censuses later???

I think this must be something to do with Newall being his mothers name...perhaps they weren't married yet...he will later be known as jeremiah Thomas.?

Hi Pet,
Well "I've never seen anyfing like it in me life" as the old song goes. Try the 'contact' link and ask them what other entry.
Did you have a look for Newalls using the batch number?

Hi all,
I've never got on very well with FamilySearch, seems to be complete luck if I get a hit....
I found someone I'd like to research more and it says this under the record:

"This information was generated from another entry that appears in this index. Look for another entry for this person. "

Well,blowed if I can see another entry....any ideas?
If I click on the parents (it's a christening record for Jeremiah Newell 1800) it just cross references the 3 of them.
