LIST 8 - BAPTISMS - ST LUKES LIVERPOOL

 
 
The sixth church to be established in the colony was St Lukes  at 
Liverpool.  Between  1811 and 1820 the details  of  124  baptisms were  
recorded  in St Luke's church register. Of this  number  15 baptisms 
refer to children born prior to 1811. The first  baptism being 
performed on the 19th May 1811.
 
The information recorded and presented for each child is  exactly as 
described for St Phillips in List 3.
 
The  list is presented in chronological order by date of  baptism then 
alphabetically by father's surname. 
 
With  regard to the fathers, identities of 89% have  been  found. The 
name of one father was not recorded and the arrival  details of a 
further fourteen remain unknown.
 
With  regard to the mothers, identities of 89% have  been  found. The  
names  of twelve mothers were not recorded and  the  arrival details 
of a further three remain unknown.
 
There  were  two  duplicate entries on the  register  during  the period  
under study reducing the total of individual baptisms  to 122.  John  
Broughton and David Davis had  both  previously  been baptized at St 
Phillips. 
 
Eighteen baptisms took place after 1820 when older children  came to  
baptism, the latest being Christian Proud in 1835 at the  age of 
twenty.
 
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  relevant entry 
in the original source document.
 
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.
 
St Lukes was separated from St Johns Parramatta in 1811 with  the Rev  
Rowland Hassall being appointed the first chaplain.  He  was followed  
in  May  1816 by the Rev John  Youl  who  served  until December 1819 
before moving to Port Dalrymple in Van Diemens land when  the  Rev 
Robert Cartwright moved from St Matthews  to  take over. 
 
The  dates of baptism of Thomas Herbert and John Welch are unknown 
at this time.
 
For some reason the reference numbers 21,23 & 109 were omitted.
 
Entries on this list have the reference identifier "SJL" 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 date of baptism 
would be retrieved, secondly using the appropriate  date, the  baptism  
would  be  located on  this  list  and  finally  an alphabetical  search 
on the name would be made on  the  baptismal date if there should be 
more than one entry for that date.
