    3. Hi Everyone, Yesterday I was looking through some baptism registers and came across a note in the margin that is very hard to read and what I could make out is unfamilar to me. I was wondering if someone might be able to shed some light on it. Date: 20th Oct 1862 Burghclere Name: Taylor George son of Parents: Jane Benham (no father listed) Occupation: (none listed) Abode: Burghclere Francis C Fosbury Curate. The note in the margin looked like Poorhouse Baptism, the poor was very clear but the rest of the word wasn't. Is there such a thing as a poorhouse baptism and if so what is it. If I have the right person, it would appear that Jane's husbane had died over 12 months before this child was baptised, would that have anything to do with it? Any help is very much appreciated. Margaret, N.S.W., Australia.
