Baptism

Date 24 August 1707 (Julian)
Place Holy Trinity Church, Buckfastleigh, Devon, England

Narrative

The baptism was recorded on the same day in both Buckfastleigh and Staverton. The Buckfastleigh register notes that the family is "of Staverton". The most likely explanation is that Bernard was baptised in Buckfastleigh, but that the baptism was also entered in the Staverton register as that was his parish of residence.
