John Dolman 1728/29 Calne/Cherhill

Looking for children of John & Mary DOLMAN (marr Calne 1761):

CALNE
Parish Baptisms
Started search 1761
Stopped search 1779
No children of John & Mary recorded here, but there were three contemporary
couples: James/Sarah, Walter/Betty and Isaac/Mary.
Details of their children can be extracted if you wish.
(taken from unpublished transcript in Wilts R.O.)

We then searched for them in Cherhill. This parish register proved very hard
to read because it is badly written, and the photocopied handwritten
so-called index in the searchroom is very poor. However it did show us that
there were some children of John and Mary DOLMAN here, so we extracted the
following from the original register on fiche, with confirmation of some
difficult bits from the BTs where available:

CHERHILL
Parish Baptisms
Started search 1761
1764 May 06 - William, son of John & Mary DOLMAN
1766 Jan 19 - John, son of John & Mary DOLMAN
1767 Dec 25 - Isaac, son of John DOLMAN
1769 Oct 30 - Betty, dau of John & Mary DOLMAN
Stopped search 1779
(taken from original registers on fiche)

There are no BTs for 1764 and we are not 100% sure of the date 6 May, but
that is what it looks most like.
Also noted at Cherhill in this period, was the following:

CHERHILL
Parish Baptisms
1763 Oct 23 - Isaac, son of James and Betty DOLMAN
(taken from original registers on fiche)


2) Baptisms check

Looking to verify baptism for John DOLMAN in Calne in Jan 1727/28.
We found the following:

CALNE
Parish Baptism
1728/29 Mar 24 - John son of John DOLMAN
(taken from unpublished transcript in Wilts R.O.)

Confusing with all these John's, isn't it?
