   ch. 5 Feb 1744 [presumed to mean 5 Feb 1744/5], Toddington, Bedfordshire: Anne daughter of Edward & Esther Polton

   This baptism has been identified as the correct one one the basis that it is only four years out for the age quoted at her burial, and would make Ann 22 when she married and 43 when her youngest child was baptised. She also had two sons named Edward and a daughter named Esther, which point to this baptism - they were named after Ann's parents.
