Volunteer transcript of the register, not the register image; consulted 2026-08-29 through freereg.org.uk. Coverage of Wymondham baptisms is dense from the 1790s to the 1850s; many entries appear twice because two transcribers covered the same page, which is not two children. No source-level url is set because every FreeREG parish shares one search address; the per-entry deep links are on the citations.

Transcript columns quoted in order: name, event, date, church, father, mother, father's occupation, abode, register entry number (abode and entry number are present on some transcriptions of an entry and not others). Six of the nine children of family 4729 - William, Robert, Eleanor, Adeline, John and Henry - are recorded in the tree as baptised at Wymondham on 17 SEP 1837, and the register holds exactly that mass baptism, entries 674 to 680, every one of them a child of James HOWES, weaver, and Ann, of Lizard in Wymondham. Entry 679 is a seventh child James, who is not in the tree. George Howes, born 20 JAN 1841 in the tree, is entry 968 baptised 1 Feb 1841 to the same couple at the same abode, which extends the identification past the mass baptism. The mother's maiden name comes from an 1822 baptism of an earlier daughter Catherine to the same James Howes, weaver, where the transcriber recorded her as Ann BORRETT; a second transcription of that same entry reads Ann BORRELD. This independently confirms the tree's own Ancestry citation on all nine children, 'Record for Ann Borrett'. Nothing here is a marriage record, so unionType is left 'unknown'.
