Disambiguation

NOT her Baptism:

Place: Darsham, Suffolk, England

The Census details of 1841 and 1851 make it clear that this is not the Jemima in this family., not even if she was baptised very late. In the 1840s baptisms were not a matter of family choice: The parish concerned was accepting the obligation to pay poor relief to the person baptised, who was confirmed as settled there.
