Research Notes:-

1. All the above records were found in a single volume of the Parish registers for Paul entitled “Baptisms, burials, 1776-1812”.  There is one other volume that could potentially offer further baptisms for the family, the volume is entitled “Baptisms, marriages, burials, 1694-1775”.  Both of these registers can be found on line at FamilySearch - https://familysearch.org and are free to access.
2. There are two couples during this period of time that have the Christian names William and Anne.  The family of William & Ann(e) listed above use the surname of Carbis or Carbice, as both parents were unable to write (based on the lack of a signature on their marriage record) this would explain the variable spelling.  The other couple listed are William and Ann Carter, a sample entry is show below

It is important to make sure that the families are not confused which could easily happen as some of the entries are so faded.
