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.
