<pre wrap="">We could argue about the place name till we are blue in the face; the big problem with reading it as Orange is there is very clearly "vill" at the end of the word and the only place name I could find in any reference for NH starting with O and having vill in it was Orfordville. I have to agree even digitally enhanced it really looks like 1846 and not having at their hands the information that Lavinia Melvin who married George B Foss was born in 1857 there is no way to fault their interpretation of the date, even though it is obviously wrong. I find a lot of the time I have to rely on the text version to figure out what the image actually says and I assume often the people indexing these pages are familiar enough with the geography of the area to be able to fill in the blanks. I haven't tried to find a death record for Hugh as he most likely isn't in the Family Search data base since for NH they only go to 1915, so I probably never will know for sure
which O town he was born in and more to the point why? Daddy being listed as a Peddler of timeware(?) in 1900 might explain that, but I thought Peddler's typically traveled a route and their family stayed in one location?
Interesting puzzles we find in digging into our ancestry.

I do see an "f" reads O[----f---]
[---]
However, on the date of birth, I read July 7th 1846.
Without having other
information, the transcribers are left with what they see

child born?
