BAPTISMS 1834-1854

From CH3/846/14

---

LAYOUT. First comes the name of the parents in BLOCK CAPITALS; then the births/baptisms of their children in chronological order. Usually two dates have been given, the first being the birth and the second the baptism. With children born and baptised in the same month, the year has only been given once - eg. for a person born 6 July 1849 and baptised 26 July 1849, it has been indexed either as 6/26 July 1849, but more usually as 6 July/26 July 1849. A dash (-) equates to no birth or baptismal entry in the original register.
