The Register from which this was transcribed
was so very imperfect that it was unavoid
able to joyn the the two ^former^ years together
and doubtless there are many omissions
in th Births and Marriages, which
was occasioned by the Clerks keeping

Date shown is not correct as it is based on death record
Assumed to be daughter of Joshua; high probability. She took out bastardy orders in North Bradley, so was presumably born there. There are no other records of baptism for Betty Bevan at this time. Job Beaven's apprentice indentures name Jane Beaven as his mother. Joshua's youngest daughter was Jane.
