Where Parkend is recorded as residence we establish the following:
Before 1798 Baptisms took place at Newland
From 1798 to 1822 the majority took place at Bream and the remainder at Newland.
From 1822 onwards Baptisms took place at Parkend.

Is this just a coincidence? (reply) Thank you for raising this. Parkend was also in the Parish of Newland and it had previously occurred to me that this was a long way to travel to have a baby baptised, etc. From what you say this was probably not the case then. Do you know where Parkenders went for baptisms before the village church was built?

Is this just a coincidence? (reply) In 1796, Coleford was a chapel of ease to All Saints, Newland. My ggreatgrandfathers sister Mary was baptised there in 1829. Remnants of the chapel of ease can still be seen. The 1872 church is a quite new building in a different part of Coleford. I can't remember now, I don't think Newland registers have double entries. Clearwell and Bream were originally chapels of ease. Clearwell has a new church (1830) and Bream was similar or a new church built(1813).

Added: Also Redbrook.

Is this just a coincidence? (reply) At that time Coleford was in the Parish of Newland. The baptism took place in Coleford Chapelry and appears in both registers.
Coleford Parish was founded in 1872.

Is this just a coincidence? I have these two baptism records. Could the similarities be a coincidence or might there be some other reason?
