The registration of Emily BUTCHER's illegitimate daughter Elizabeth has not been traced.

An Elizabeth BUTCHER, daughter of Emily BUTCHER, mother and spinster, was apparently baptised at Martock, Somerset, on 17 September 1856.
(FreeReg)
If the second baptism is a mis-transcription, then the date of the baptism at Martock of Emily's child by her husband Thomas WITHERS is significant:
Sarah Ann WITHERS, daughter of Thomas WITHERS, labourer, and Emily, was born on 21 April and baptised on 14 September 1856.
(FreeReg)
