OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS

1) B8. Origin of Thomas TOFTS, born about 1720; lived in Langley ESS but not baptised there

2) B7. Baptism of Thomas c1755 not found; assumed to be son of above, but no baptisms to this family at Langley between 1751 and 1760. Is the register lacking or was the family elsewhere?

3) B6. Kitty TOFTS was baptised 1779 daughter of Thomas & Mary; can it be proved that this is an error for Thomas & Sarah?
