    This is presumed to be a late baptism legitimising Elizabeth after her mother's husband returned from India. It is clear from the Hertfordshire Quarter Sessions that Thomas Moss was not her biological father, but as he was married to Martha at the time of Elizabeth's birth he was technically her legal father.
