    1. [LON] ROMAN CATHOLIC CHRISTENING in London in 1814

    3. Hello, I have had no success trolling trough Ancestry.com and therefore hope someone can help me by telling where I should be looking for a R.C. baptism which took place in 1814 in London. The child was born in the Parish of St. Martins-in-the-Fields to a CofE father and Catholic mother, and they were 'very well connected' . Assuming there were not that many Catholic churches in Central London at the time I am probably only looking at two or three possibilities,aren't I?. Family lore has it the Duc d' Orleans was a godparent though neither parent was French. The child was 're-baptised' twelve years later this time in the Established Church, a procedure I always thought was never required by either denomination. Thanks, Nick
