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.
