Is there anyone who is good at deciphering olde English so that I can try and resolve this conundrum? Thanks in advance, Chris Swann Thanks for all the replies. I have the "batch" approach in my tree as well and even one of my grandmothers who only got christened in order to get married at about 28 years of age!! BUT, the family I am looking at are way back in the late 1500's to mid 1600's and all of the children are literally hatched and christened within a day or so. Some are even hatched and dispatched without even time for a christening which is why the two that I am looking at are SO strange. I am 99.9% certain that the male has already been recorded earlier in the tree and has been included again through copy and paste for loads of trees. Hoping I can get to the bottom of things once and for all.

Re: [LegacyUG] Decipher an old Parish Document
Have also found this in Ontario where a relative had their children baptised in lots - four the first time, and five the next - including one who was actually their grandson (mother didn't marry the father) so proved the relationship. Not enough months between the two youngest. lol Helen On Tue, Sep 15, 2020 at 2:42 PM Chris Hill wrote: > Yes, it was common.

Tongue in cheek, Sara? After all, baptisms/christenings were quite often held during Sunday Mass.

Re: [LegacyUG] Decipher an old Parish Document
Yes, it was common. I have found a family in the late 19th century in London baptising 7 children. There are also the cases of a non-Conformist family converting to Anglican and getting baptised en masse.

Re: [LegacyUG] Decipher an old Parish Document
Have you thought that, in those days, parents often had to wait a long time to have their children christened, especially if they lived in isolated areas. It happened in my maternal grandfather's family as the priest's or minister's visits were often few and far between.
