Looking on Ancestry today I found a baptism record for Sarah Chapman on 4 August 1781 no birth date mentioned however it said she was buried on 5 May 1784, no death date listed though, could we all have the wrong birth date for "Our Sarah" surely there wouldn't be two Sarah Chapmans born to William & Sarah in Wakefield Yorkshire & baptised on the same day, would be grateful for any feedback regards Wendy

Hi,
What sources do they provide?

Hi Leanne, thanks for the question, I have been looking at Sarah Chapman for some time & find her history quite confusing the source citation is West Yorkshire Archive Service, Wakefield, Yorkshire, England; Yorkshire parish records; New reference number: WDP3/1/9, I also find it hard to believe that her sister Mary's birth year appears to be 40 years later maybe a misprint somewhere, regards Wendy
