Michael's listing bears this out as does the Mormon Library records but both of these are using the same source (parish records) so it is not surprising. I have not delved into the family history for some time now so cannot give specific names - I do recall seeing a few more child deaths in the St.Catherine's House records some years ago that alerted me to the fact that there were more Mapstones than I had come across from other records such as the parish baptisms (no doubt these children died before they were baptised).
