Multiple Family Baptisms (General)

There are several theories, one is that families were "converted" and baptised "en masse", which plays to the way the Forest was encroached ( in the extra parochial areas) and the distance from a recognised place of worship.

Faith seems to have played a strong part in Forest life as witnessed by the rise of the non-conformists.
