64 children were baptised with the surname MANN in Gloucestershire between 1820 and 1840, 2 of which are "Fanny", none are "Frances" and none are Maria. 62 were baptised in Tetbury, which leads me to ask if ALL baptisms within Gloucestershire have been digitised?

There appear to be two breeding couples in Tetbury, through the relevant years (1820 to 1840) where the father is listed as William MANN and mother is Elizabeth. One William MANN is a Labourer, the other is a Hatter. Their children were baptised at the same church - St Mary the Virgin @ Tetbury, interwoven less that one year apart. The only difference is the father's occupation.
