I have just found 2 baptismal records on the Record Pilot for a distant cousin, and am confused.
The first is for Thomas Bengough, son of Thomas Bengough and Elizabeth, baptised 9 October 1829 at Aston Juxta Birmingham [I assume this means St Peter & St Paul].
The 2nd record is dated 19 Oct 1829 and at first sight would appear to be a transcription error. The puzzle is the church is given as St Martin's Birmingham and the recorded name is Thomas Post Bengough, son of Thomas Bengough and Elizabeth.
Any ideas? There may be a clue in that neither of Thomas's parents are to be found in any census returns, and in 1841 little Thomas was living with his maternal aunt and uncle.
