Baptisms Donington in Holland, 1856-1859

This is not a transcription, it's just me jotting down the surnames as I search through the images of the original parish registers of Donington in Holland for baptisms that Lincstothepast have made available on their website.  The volume covers 1849-1889 in total.  For 1849-1855 or an explanation of why I've done this, see my other post: Baptisms Donington in Holland, 1849-1855.

Oddities in the Parish Registers:
There are some notes in the margins, made by the Vicar: 

1857: On 6 September Thomas and Anne Dolby had three children baptised.  Margaret, Anne Jane and Elizabeth.  All daughters of Thomas and Anne.  The vicar has scribbled some birthdates in the margin.  They look like: Margaret, infant born 31 July 1857 abode Uppingham; Anne Jane born 2 November 1854 at Wisbeach; Elizabeth born 15 October 1859 at Wisbeach. 

1858: In 1858 the Vicar's written a note at the bottom of the page: NB Sarah & Ann Pretty were baptised as adults. Sarah lived servant with myself and ... with Wm Dods Esq of Donington. These two baptisms were performed on 7 February 1858 by John D Greenside and the parish registers recorded the same information for both Sarah and Ann: Pretty, daughter of Samuel & Ann. Abode Gosbarton. (father's) occupation  Cottager. 

1858: The entry for two Simpsons has notes in the margin saying "one month" and "12 months".  There's also the letter "C" dotted around quite a few entries and I think this indicates the mother was churched one month after the birth and the child was baptised on the same day. The "C" is most likely the Vicar's indication that he performed a churching. George and Anne Simpson brought their two children in for baptism at the same time, the notes in the margin indicate Alice is 1-month old and Martha Justina is 1-year old. 

1859: There is a note by the vicar in the bottom margin, dated two years after the baptism as he wrote the wrong mother's name in the parish register.  This note refers to the baptism of 10 July 1859 of Charles Henry Dunn, son of Edward & Elizabeth. Abode Donington, Brazier. NB The wife of Edward Dunn is entered by mistake under the name of Elizabeth, her name is Rebecca. 29 May 1861. 

1859: There is a note in the margin, NB Frederick William was 16 months. This is for the baptism of Frederick William Cocks, son of Thomas & Sarah, baptised 22 September 1859. Abode Donington. Trade/profession Shoemaker.
