   I've had a case of father's names switched in a marriage entry.   
      
   I've also seen (1765, 1776,1770)  baptismal entries for three children   
   (who, from other evidence, I expected to be Anna, William and   
   Elizabeth, in that order) where the Vicar wrote in the first case   
   "William, son of William"   
   and in the other two   
   "William, son of Richard"   
      
   I found no entry for Anna.   
      
   Corrections (in a different hand) were made -  the father's name in   
   the first first entry was corrected to Richard, and the child's   
   details in the third entry were corrected to   
   "Elizabeth, dau of Richard"   
      
   (Elizabeth married, which may have been when her baptismal entry was   
   checked and corrected.  Anna did not marry.  It is possible that  the   
   first entry should have been for "Anna, dau of Richard".)
