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. 
 
Entries on this list have the reference identifier "SMW" 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.
