After all, it's only a hop-step-and-jump from there to Whitchurch! Folk moved around quite a lot in those days. Cheers Graham

Cheers Graham<< dont you just love it when christenings/baptisms are in different places for the same family! in the time frame of this particular email reference, people had to fit in with their possibly 1 day off from work and where the "circuit" minister was going to be. the thought of trekking a distance in a cart maybe borrowed from a neighbour or walking a distance with a baby to be christened is a scarey thought!
