Hi Listers, Late baptisms don't seem to be all that uncommon in my lines - maybe due in some cases to the tax on baptism entries at some times. In Bottesford, LEI, nine of 'my' Riley children were baptised on the same day in 1810, with ages varying from 3 years to 19 years - and the Vicar has my undying thanks for giving their dates of birth. The tenth child had been hurriedly baptised earlier that year and died shortly after, so maybe the parents had had a bit of a fright and had their other children baptised just in case. I've also found that multiple baptisms sometimes co-incide with a new vicar - either the old one tying up loose ends before he left, or the new broom starting to sweep. I also have 2 teenagers (17yrs) being baptised into the Anglican church - presumably at their own request as their parents were Baptist and so didn't believe in infant baptism. Regards, Ellie Thomas
