LIST 26 - BAPTISMS - OTHER CHURCHES

 
 
This list contains the details of baptisms for children who were born between 
1821 and 1830 but were baptized in churches other than the 23 featured in this 
volume, which were generally founded after 1830. There are thirteen such 
churches listed, nine Anglican, two Presbyterian, one Baptist & one Israelite. 
There were 70 such baptisms.
 
Churches mentioned in this category include:
 
 I-C : Illawarra Camden
 SJB : St Johns Morton Bay
 C-H : Castle Hill
 L-H : Lower Hawkesbury
 ACCo: Gloucester Australian Agricultural Company
 SSG : St Saviours Goulburn
 NI : Norfolk Island
 SMWM: St Marys West Maitland
 SJM : St James Melbourne
 SKW : Scots Kirk Wilberforce
 IRAE: Israelite Penrith
 BAPT: Baptist St Andrews Sydney
 SAS : Presbyterian St Andrews Sydney
 
The information recorded for each baptism includes: 
 
 date of baptism 
  date of birth
 Christian name
 father's family name 
 father's Christian name 
 mother's maiden name
 mother's Christian name
 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 
 child's place of birth
 father's arrival status/occupation
 officiating minister
 reference number
 
The parents' arrival details had to be removed to make way for other 
information on the list but these are available in List 1 in any case.
 
The list is presented in church order as per the list above then chronological 
within each church.
 
There were three duplicate entries.
 
It is not certain if Thomas, David and Hannah Etherington, given Baptist 
christenings at St Andrews Sydney, arrived in the colony before 1830.
 
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 is ironic that the very last baptism I recorded whilst researching 
for this project was that of John Arndell because one of the first books I 
ever bought when starting out on my fascination with early colonial genealogy 
was The Pioneers of Portland Head which concerned itself principally with the 
Arndell family. My research would appear to have come full circle.
 
Entries on this list have one of the reference identifiers as listed above. 
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 church & 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.
