For “Baptised” 12 JAN 1815 of Sarah Jane Watson
January 12th | Sarah Daughter of | William and Jane | Watson | Brede | Labourer | John Wilson Curate
The original register page, East Sussex Record Office PAR/253/1/2/1, page 10, headed 'BAPTISMS solemnized in the Parish of Brede in the County of Sussex in the Year 1814 & 15'. Quoted across the register's printed columns: When Baptized | Child's Christian Name | Parents Name Christian | Surname | Abode | Quality, Trade, or Profession | By whom the Ceremony was performed. THE YEAR IS 1815 and the page settles it: the header spans two years, entries No. 73-75 are December, No. 76 is 'January 8th' and this is No. 77. Ancestry keys the same entry twice, as 1814 (record 204484) and 1815 (record 1981963), which is that header artefact. It agrees independently with the 1838 James Pattison entitlement certificate, transcribed on WikiTree Watson-26239 as 'Age: 23 last birthday 27 December 1837' - born 27 December 1814, baptised sixteen days later. NOTE: the media row's auto-generated title says 'page 12'; the register's own page number is 10 and the facing page 11, which is what my locators use.
