Ancestry's images and index of the Somerset diocesan baptism registers, filmed from the originals at Somerset Archives. Signed-in and browser-only. Distinct from the FamilySearch 'England, Somerset, Church Records, 1501-1999' index already in the tree: this one carries the register images, so a citation from it can quote the page rather than a transcription.

THE REGISTER PAGE ITSELF, 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. The image was fetched from Ancestry 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, which agrees with the 1851 census 'Ag Lab (Carter)'. Quality 3 (primary, register image seen) — GEDCOM QUAY has no level above 3. THE IMAGE IS BEING UPLOADED SEPARATELY: when its media id arrives this citation needs the mediaId stamped on it, and the file needs a media.link to Henry #83078, to Thomas #83086 and to Mary.

Ancestry's index transcription of the same entry, quoted in the collection's own field order from the record's originalValues, and kept beside the register quote so the two can be compared: the index resolves the register's compressed 'Thomas Mary Cole' into Thomas Cole and Mary Cole, which is the correct reading of that column. Birth is left at ABT 1841 — the baptism, the 1851 census (age 10) and the 1861 census (age 21) agree, while the 1864 passenger list's 'abt 1842' is a year out, as arrival ages usually are.
