12 Oct 1794   His daughter, Elizabeth, was baptised. Her mother's name was recorded as 'Milicent'. Unless Elizabeth was the product of an earlier relationship, 'Milicent' was for some reason written in mistake for Pamela. (Elizabeth lived until 1882.)   Parish register, Lutterworth

9 Jan 1811   A William Manger, son of William and Pamela, was christened at Lutterworth.
