Baptised before birth? (General)
Hi Paul,
thanks so much for confirming whose duty it was to report Births from 1837 until 1874, and that it wasn't the parent's responsibilty. To have a Registrar roaming around does seem a rather random way of doing things, no doubt he visited the churches too for Baptism records but even so plenty of room for error I guess, which rather matches my own thoughts and findings on the subject.
Thanks again, J.
