THE REGISTER PAGE ITSELF (media 396), quoted across its printed columns: When Baptized | Child's Christian Name | Parents Name Christian | Surname | Abode | Quality, Trade, or Profession | By whom the Ceremony was performed. The page header reads 'BAPTISMS solemnized in the Parish of Tintinhull in the County of Somerset in the Year 1841'; the archive reference is Somerset Archives D/P/tin 2/1/6, filmed by Ancestry as collection 60857. The image was fetched and read by the orchestrator on 2026-09-08; I did not see it. THIS IS THE RECORD THAT CLOSES THE IDENTIFICATION. In proposal 2264 the Tintinhull household was cited only as a candidate at quality 2, because the England Marriages index named Henry's father as Thomas but nothing tied him to a particular Thomas. The register names both parents in the right parish in the right year, the father agreeing with the marriage index, and gives his trade as Labourer, agreeing with the 1851 census 'Ag Lab (Carter)'. Ancestry's index resolves the register's compressed 'Thomas Mary Cole' into Thomas Cole and Mary Cole, which is the correct reading of that column. Birth left at ABT 1841: the baptism, the 1851 census (age 10) and the 1861 census (21) agree, while the 1864 passenger list's 'abt 1842' is a year out, as arrival ages usually are. Quality 3, primary with the image seen — GEDCOM QUAY has no level above 3.
