Yes ~ mine's William Looker, also a Domestic Coachman.

Henry is a younger son of Isaac and Jane

William was in Scotland, Merry, but Rachel is talking about his probable brother, Henry.

Yes extremely likely but not proven
It's really irritating


Would the family have had to live in the parish for any length of time before they could get the child baptised there ?
It says William was born on 9th April ~ Baptised 25th April
Isaac (father) was a Chaise Driver

Oh, doh!

Just looking up Chaise before I fall asleep

"chaise:
-from French chaise-a chair; a two wheeled vehicle for two persons, drawn by one horse, and generally furnished with a hood that can be let down. A light weight vehicle, a seat on a framework with springy shafts."

AND

"Chaise:
Generally an enclosed four-wheeled carriage seating up to three people, and driven by a rider mounted on one of the horses (see "postilion"). The more or less standard vehicle for families which are "respectable", but not extremely wealthy."



Maybe Isaac had to gallop over to Bryanston Sq for some reason
