Simon Hoyt's daughter Ann or Agnes?

Question

In Simon Hoyt's bio, under "Disputed children," it mentions daughter Ann, Agn, and/or Agnes, but the sources reference only IGI records at FamilySearch. Recently I went to a Family History Center to look at the original West Hatch parish records. The entry is difficult to read, but I definitely stumbled across the entry for this daughter's baptism. It is in the expected year 1626, and to my eyes, the name Agnes appears the most likely candidate, although I'm not entirely convinced. (As I mentioned--it's difficult to read.) I can't make out the specific date of the baptism, but maybe somebody else will.

I will try to attach the image here, but that's something I haven't done in G2G before, so hopefully it will work. The Hoyte entry is about halfway down on the right-hand page.

I can't seem to figure out the picture posting. Here's a link: https://www.wikitree.com/photo/jpg/Hoyte_daughter_s_1626_baptism

The image is not on an open profile, so cannot be seen other than as a thumbnail.

Go to the image page (where it has why it is not copyrighted, and other details) and scroll down to where it says "People and Things in the image" — beneath which there is a space for "Add person or free-space profile" and in the box there paste Space:Images4G2G

Just that, no bolding, nothing extra.

Once the image is on an open profile, it should be seeable by others.

Thanks! Hope it worked.

It is now visible, but I will leave it to younger eyes to see what they can find!  

Answer 1

Looks pretty clearly like Agnes to me. I note, however, that I believe that Ann was a common nicknames for Agnes, so while she was baptized as Agnes, she may have been most commonly called Ann.

Looks like Agnes to me also and I agree about Agnes, sometimes being Ann
