LIST 7 - BAPTISMS - ST MATTHEWS WINDSOR

 
 
The fourth parish to be established in the colony was St Matthews at  Windsor  
in  1810.  There were 26  baptisms  recorded  at  St Matthews in that year. One 
of this number refers to a child  born prior to 1801.
 
The  information  recorded  for  each  child  includes:  
          date of baptism 
          date of birth
          Christian name
          father's Christian name 
          father's family name 
          father's year of arrival in the colony 
          father's ship of arrival in the colony 
          father's status upon arrival in the colony 
          mother's Christian name
          mother's maiden name
          mother's year of arrival in the colony
          mother's ship of arrival in the colony
          mother's status upon arrival in the colony
          parent's civil status at the time of the child's birth
          parent's marital status at the time of the child's birth
          parent's year & country/church of marriage where applicable 
          reference number
 
The  list is presented in chronological order by date of  baptism then 
alphabetically by father's surname. 
 
With  regard  to the fathers, the arrival details of  one  remain unknown.
 
With regard to the mothers, the names of three were not  recorded and the arrival 
details of a further three remain unknown.
 
It  should  be  noted  that  considerably  more  information   is presented  than  
will be found in the original  church  register, being the result of decades 
of research,  principally  associated with  the Pioneer Register Project. Arrival 
data for the  parents were  rarely  recorded in the original documents  nor  was  
their marital status.
 
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.
 
The  first baptism at this church was for John Wainwright on  the 18th  April  
1810. The ceremony being conducted by  the  Reverend Robert Cartwright, recently 
recruited by the Reverend Marsden for service in the colony. 
 
Louisa  Jones is listed as the adopted daughter of  Thomas  Jones and  Elizabeth  
Dailey but whom her biological  parents  were  is unknown at this time.
 
One  hundred and five baptisms took place after 1810  when  older children  came  
to baptism, the latest being Athellia  Palmer  in 1827 at the age of twenty three.

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.
