LIST 7 - BAPTISMS - OTHER CHURCHES

 
 
This 'primary source' list contains the details of baptisms for children who 
were baptized later in life which took them outside the general ambit of the 
records consulted for the basis of this book, 1788 to 1800, recorded in churches 
other than the twoalready listed. There were 25 in total, 10 males and 15 
females.
 
Baptisms were found in five churches:
 
 St Davids Hobart (1803)
 St Matthews Windsor (1810)
 St Johns Launceston (1811)
 St Peters Richmond (1814) 
 St Marys Sydney (1820)
 
The information recorded for each child includes: 
 
 reference number
 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 
 
The list is presented for each church firstly in chronological order by 
date of establishment of each church, next in chronological order by 
date of baptism, then in chronological order by date of birth 
 
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.

There were five duplicate baptisms in St Marys Sydney records, all representing 
adult conversions to the Catholic faith.
 
The reference number would direct the reader to the entry in the original source 
document.
 
Entries on this list have one of the reference identifiers; "SDH", "SJL", 
"SMS", "SMW", "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 church 
and date of baptism would be retrieved, secondly using the appropriate church, 
the baptism would be located on this list.
