Drowned in the millpond at Headley

From Gordon Lickfold:

It is very unusual for English clergy to write anything in the Parish Registers apart from the basic records concerning baptisms, marriages and burials.  However, the rector of Headley in 1918 wrote the following in the margin of the Burial Register against the 8 May 1843 entry for James: "Drowned at Headley Mill. Hence the private baptism 4.5.43 of his brother Walter. So informed 1918 by this Walter."

In the Baptisms register for 1843 is the entry: May 4: Walter, s. of John & Anna Lickfold: Private baptism by Lancelot Bellas, Rector of Bramshott.  A note in the margin says, "Received into the congregation Aug 23 by me A.L.L."  [A.L.L. = A.L.Lambert, Curate of Headley.]
