Baptised 'while in the Workhouse' (General)

Thanks Paul,
yes you're correct of course, my mind was elsewhere yesterday and should have looked for the prior posts - famous last words - sorry. I see you were a key player then, do you have any more thoughts on Tallerin's mother, please ?
I'm not sure but it seems that the forum thought the neighbour Elizabeth Knight was perhaps his mother, so clearly not the same lady who died in the Workhouse. Then again, given she was abt 40 years older than Tallerin, was she Elizabeth's mother, so his Grandmother ?.
??
However I see no more evidence on this old thread that she was linked, eg by a Knight/Harris marriage. (My very quick search hasn't found one, but...?)

SO, to you and Anthony I ask, was any more work done off-forum to link Elizabeth Knight directly to Tallerin ?. Or hs she been discounted ? Any pointers much appreciated.

Thanks again.

ps ref Elizabeth Harris' Baptism at Newland in 1783, as per my earlier post, I suspect this is her parent's marriage;

Unfortunately for us the PRs show several Elizabeth Thomas Baptisms in the preceding years, many within the locality altho I cannot find any at Newland itself.
