trying to find maiden name of mum and siblings

[Glen TK]

Looking to try and build up the family based on a christening entry, I think there is another child (John Robert) christened on the same day but having no luck tracing who mum is at all or any other siblings.

Name: Mary Jane Dale
Gender: Female
Christening Date: 18 Mar 1855
Christening Place: St. Swithin's, Lincoln, Lincoln, England
Birth Date: 08 Jan 1849

Father's Name: John Dale

Mother's Name: Susannah

There is a Louisa born 26 may 1858 and baptised 7 Feb 1864 St Martin's, Lincoln, on FamilySearch. And a Betsy born 22 Apr 1852 and baptised 10 Jan 1854 St Swithin's. Susannah born 21 Nov 1853 and baptised same day as Betsy. George born 15 Jan 1856 baptised 2 Mar 1856 St Swithin's.

Thanks, seems they were never in a rush to baptise them

Mmm, maybe?

Charles is the eldest son in 1861 and he is shown as born in Coningsby. Family Search has a baptism of Charles, son on John and Susan in Coningsby in 1841 (though it does not provide the precise date.)

Dear me, when John is described as a journeyman, he really was travelling, wasn't he? All the children are born miles apart until he reaches Lincoln.

Blimey, no wonder the baptisms weren't making sense, and it looks like another roundabout trip into a branch of my tree from another direction, at this rate I'm going to find an 8th great grandparent is the source of about 6 different lines (counts fingers, toes and heads).
