Instinct says that you have a Non-conformist family as most of the "Anglican" records for that time period have been transcribed. I also wonder at what age the local Baptists were baptising - I have a feeling the child had often reached the age of 7 or 8 before entering the Church - i.e. they understood unlike an infant baptism. By this age the Baptism may have taken place in New Zealand ! These families may have practised Adult baptism ??

Is there a family Bible that has perhaps survived ?

The mining interest may be a a share holding / investment ?
