On the IGI I found the following:

REBECCA SUGDEN
Christening: 04 AUG 1793 Bradford, Yorkshire, England
Parents:
Father: RICHARD SUGDEN
Source Information:
Batch No.: Dates: Source Call No.: Type: Printout Call No.: Type:
K107655 1790 - 1812 0990533 Film 6911014 Film
Sheet: 00

It's an extracted record.

As the west yorkshire parish records are online I thought I'd have a look at the original and I can't find it.

There is a record for a Rebecca Spurr for the same date and fathers name but Spurr is nothing like Sugden. So how did familysearch transcribe the record if I can't see it?

The IGI also had a transcription for a Nanny Spurr, which I am sure is not there either.

Allan I think it is the same parent. That Rebecca died about 3 years after the baptism.

I went looking for another child and couldn't find one so I checked familysearch to get the year to make it easier to spot a typo on ancestry but I can't work it out.

Thanks for looking for me.
