Father Philip TRANT, b. 1744, West Alvington, Devon, England , bur. 28 Apr 1810, St. Paul’s Church, Staverton, Devon, England (Age ~ 66 years) Mother Elizabeth WEBBER, bur. 17 Aug 1805, St. Paul’s Church, Staverton, Devon, England Married 20 Feb 1776 St. Paul’s Church, Staverton, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 5 Jun 2014)
Three children of this couple were buried between the baptisms of William in 1778 and Sarah in 1784. I have not yet browsed the register for baptisms, but 2 different transcriptions lack baptisms for these children. I suspect that they were buried so soon after birth they had not been baptised, or that they were baptised at home and the priest neglected to write it in the register.
(The 2 sets of transcriptions are those by FMP and those by David Horwill, in the SOG database)
