Hi Karl,
if only to perhaps confirm your research, I have just thoroughly searched this site's PRs from all angles & spelling variations I can think of.
I can only find ONE other possible Baptism for a Ann Harris within the timeframe, which happens to be in Ruardean (I was searching ALL Parishes):

Record ID 54252
Entry Number
Year 1755
Month Nov
Day 12
Parents Surname HARRIS
Child Forenames Ann
Fathers Forenames John
Mothers Forenames Ester
Mothers Surname
Residence
Occupation
Officiating Minister Richard REECE
Event Baptism
Memoranda

Register Reference P275 IN 1/2
Page Number 44
Parish Chapel Ruardean

Sadly I cannot find any likely Marriage at all within the PRs for these parents.

So clearly not the reply you were hoping for but perhaps a small crumb of reassurance wrt your own research.

PLEASE can you shed some light on the intriguing entry within your quoted Baptism,
"Residence: Town of Dosetter"

I ask as geography is a passion of mine, plus I have many family connections with Ruardean Church, but Dosetter is a wholly new one to me. Perhaps its a transcription error from Gloster (v.unlikely I think), or is it Dorchester, or Dorset or what ??
I suspect it does refer to a place outside of the Forest given the lack of a parent's marriage within the PRs, yet where please ?.

Cheers Jeff.
