Mary WIGSON was married and buried in Tysoe, and from her age at burial she was born about 1758. There is a suitable baptism at Tysoe:
C 7May1757 Mary d Daniel & Mary WICKSON
Mary named two of her children Daniel and Mary, and there is no doubt that this is the correct baptism.
Frances BAYLIS-5 was baptised at Tysoe WAR in 1783, daughter of John & Mary. A series of baptisms to these parents at Tysoe is preceded by the following marriage at Tysoe

These books describe expenditure by the parish trying to rid itself of people who might become dependant on the parish by getting them work elsewhere. Mary Wigson was given sixpence in 1775 to go to Kineton Mop (a nearby fair, though the book names it Kington Mop) so she could get work as a domestic. But she married John Baylis the next year and returned to Tysoe to live.
from the book quoting Tysoe parish records:
"To Mary Wigson going to Kington Mop to set Eliz White 6d"
