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.
