LIST 9 - BAPTISMS - ST PETERS RICHMOND

 
 
The seventh church to be established in the colony was St Peter's at 
Richmond. Between 1814 and 1820 the details of 113 baptisms were 
recorded in St Peter's church register. Of this number seven baptisms 
refer to children born prior to 1811. The first baptism was performed 
on the 17th of July 1814.
 
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 90% have been found. The 
arrival details of fourteen of the fathers 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.
 
Twenty eight baptisms took place after 1820 when older children came 
to baptism, the latest being James Honery in 1835 at the age of twenty 
one.
 
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.
 
St Peters was separated from St Matthews in 1814 with the Rev Henry 
Fulton being appointed as the first incumbent. 
 
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.
 
Thomas Honery, Francis Ezzy and Jemima Richards all claim to have been 
baptized at St Peters but their baptismal date has not been found 
at this time.
 
Entries on this list have the reference identifier "SPR" 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.
