LIST 14 - BAPTISMS - OTHER CHURCHES

 
 
This list contains the details of baptisms for children who born 
between 1811 and 1820 but were baptized later in life which took them 
outside the general ambit of the records consulted for the basis of 
this book and recorded in churches other than the eleven already 
listed. There were 89 in total.
 
The information recorded and presented for each child is exactly as 
described for St Phillips in List 3, plus the name of the church 
of course.
 
The  list is presented firstly by denomination; Anglican, 
Catholic, Presbyterian, Wesleyan then Baptist, secondly by the date 
of founding of each church, next in chronological order by date of 
baptism, finally in chronological order by date of birth.
 
With regard to the fathers, identities of 87% have been found. The 
name of one father was not recorded and the arrival details of a 
further thirteen remain unknown.
 
With regard to the mothers, identities of 77% have been found. The 
names of eleven mothers were not recorded and the arrival details 
of a further thirteen remain unknown.
 
There are eleven duplicate entries on this list; three Anglican, five 
Catholic and three Wesleyan. Thus the total individual entries 
is reduced to 78.
 
Where the father's surname has a second name separated by a slash '/', 
the surname after the slash is how the name was spelt in the original 
document or if second name is substantially different it refers to 
an alias. Where the mother's surname has a second name separated by 
a slash, the surname after the slash is her married name at the time 
of the recording being made if she was married more than once. 
 
The reference number would direct the reader to the entry in the 
original source document.
 
In the decade following 1820 there was a veritable blossoming of 
churches in the colony;
 Holy Trinity Kelso (1826)
 St Annes Kissing Point (1827)
 St James Pitt Town (1825)
  St Johns Wilberforce (1826) 
 St James Sydney (1824)
 St Pauls Cobbitty (1827)
 St Peters Campbelltown (1821) 
 St Thomas Port Macquarie (1824) 
 St Thomas Sackville Reach (1821) 
all of the Anglican communion.
 
The first Presbyterian kirk was also founded (1824) plus the first 
Wesleyan chapels appeared.
 
It should be noted that this list contains considerably more 
information than will be found in the original church register, being 
the result of decades of research, principally associated with the 
Pioneer Register Project.
 
By definition all of these baptisms were "late" in the sense of being 
conducted well after infancy, perhaps with the exception of those in 
1821. The last to be baptized in 1856 was Henry Dowling at the age 
of forty six at Launceston in Van Diemens Land (which incidentally 
is the only Baptist entry), Henry was born in London but his ship of 
arrival is unknown.
 
John Scott had a native mother and an unknown sailor father.
 
Apart from these baptisms there may well have been others which 
hopefully may come to light under the stimulus of the interest 
created by this treatise.
 
Entries on this list have one of the following reference 
identifiers; "Bapt", "Cla", "GP", "HTK", "I-RC", "M-RC", "Pet", 
"SAKP", "SAS", "SDPA", "SGS", "SJPT", "SJS", "SJW", "SKB", "SKPH", 
"SKS", "SLR", "SMK", "SMNN", "SMWR", "SPC", "SPCO", "STPM", "STSR", 
"WMH", "WML", "WMS", "WMW" on List 1. To locate an entry on this list; 
firstly an alphabetical search on the name would be made on List 1 
from which the church and date of baptism would be retrieved, secondly 
using the appropriate church, the baptism would be located on this 
list.
