Kim Tilsted notes:

My interest is that my children's ancestors include the Baskerfields who were Wheelwrights and Blacksmiths in Woughton on the Green. I have recently been searching the Woughton Parish Register, so I looked up Hannah Kingham
(the name I, Robyn, originally had as the name for John Prudden (1793)'s wife)
However, there are no instances of the surname Kingham in the Woughton
Register, and there is no Hannah christened in 1796. However, on 14th May 1797, there is a christening for "Hannah illegitimate daughter of
Catharine Baskerfield".

(A John Baskerfield was married to Catherine Johnston in 1778, and he died in January 1793. On 17th June 1794, "William, base born son of Catherine Baskerfield" was christened, followed by Hannah in 1797).

It seems to me that "Hannah Kingham" is therefore possibly Hannah
Baskerfield, and this may be supported by the use of Baskerfield for the children's middle names. I wondered if you might have any information on Hannah that would confirm or contradict this?
