Baptised 'while in the Workhouse' (General)

Among my ancestors I have a Jane Wintle who married 1824 a chap with the odd name of Tallerin Harris (spelt different ways in the records). At his baptism on 10 April 1796 at Newland he is shown as 'Tolareen' the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Harris of Berryhill - (I wondered if his name is a corruption of the old Welsh poet Taliesin?).

From old notes I have a reference that he was baptised 14 May 1796 Newland 'while in the Workhouse', but on looking at the parish registers on this site now, I see that there is a Elizabeth Harris buried 14 May 1796 at Newland - could this be the mother. Did I misread that reference in the past or have the online transcribed registers been altered in recent years?

Would appreciate any ideas or thoughts on any of the above which might help me to sort out my muddle.
