Christnings 1765 / William Son of Francis Rasdall Labourer & Elizabeth his Wife Bap[tize]d June 30th
This baptism has been linked to the William who married Ann Gray on the basis that it is around the time implied by the age given when he died, and there was a "John Son of Francis Rasdale, Labourer, and Elizabeth his Wife" who was buried at Heckington in 1790 said to be 18 years old. This suggests the family of Francis and Elizabeth from Caythorpe had connections to Heckington, where William married Ann Gray.
