Hannah Carter the daughter of CharIes and Hannah was baptised 2 April 1836 but her father was buried 26 January 1835.
I presume she could have just got pregnant and the child was 6 months old when baptised.
Pity they didn't put the age of Hannah on the record.

Well if the vicar had any doubt as to the father then he wouldn't have recorded the father's name. I had one yesterday Jane daughter of Elizabeth Smith, widow


Unless, of course, he was exceptionally kind-hearted or mathematically challenged :rolleyes:

There has been a baptism when the husband has died but never that many months away.
 
Just a question.
Charles was buried 26/1/1835 age 47 his residence was Penponds.
Amelia was baptised 1834 Residence Roseworthy
Hannah was baptised 1836 Residence Roseworthy
Was he living separately from the family and could Hannah have another father?
Also on both baptisms Charles occupation is miner. Why was he not 'deceased' on Hannah's?

This has puzzled me.
He was born in Camborne and mother Hannah was born in Roseworthy.
Hannah had already two children that had died and on top of that her husband.
Maybe this is why it took a while before she had her daughter Hannah baptised.
