Does anyone have in their tree a married couple having their first children christened in one denomination and then more christened in another? I have found that between 1812 and 1820 ancestors of mine baptised or registered their children in what is now the Zion Baptish Church at Bramley when they lived in Woodhouse yet from 1828 they baptised the remaining children at the local Anglican church. I am trying to fathom a reason for this other than a change of heart in the denomination of church they used Rob

Morning everyone.  I have a Yorkshire friend who parents were father C of E, mother Catholic.  The first 3 children were baptised in the Catholic church but mother had a falling out with the priest over something or other and never went back to that church/faith again.... The following 3 children were baptised C of E.  The whole family worhsipped in C of E church after that... This was relatively recently in the 1930's 1940's. She obviously felt very strongly about whatever it was..... ttfn Trish Ex Hull lass on central coast of NSW --- On Sat, 29/9/12, Robert Burns <famh1story@aim.com> wrote: From: Robert Burns <famh1story@aim.com> Subject: [YORKSGEN] Why change faith To: yorksgen@rootsweb.com Received: Saturday, 29 September, 2012, 8:58 AM Does anyone have in their tree a married couple having their first children christened in one denomination and then more christened in another?

One of the main reasons people change denominations is that they disagree with some of the basic tenets of a particular denomination. There is a pretty big difference between Anglican and Baptist but usually people go the other direction as Baptists tend to be a bit more evangelical. My great-grandfather from Bilsdale area changed from Anglican to Catholic but I'm almost sure it's because of his teaching position in Hawaii. He was a teacher in Yorkshire but to teach at the Catholic Mission in Hawaii he probably had to convert.

I can think of all kinds of reasons. Here are some: They didn't like the new Preacher/Rector/Vicar. The Anglican church, though less to their taste, was nearer to home The services were shorter. An Anglican baptism was necessary for some career choices particularly government jobs. They'd fallen out with another parishioner. They'd made good friends with folks who attended the Anglican church. The mother-in-law disapproved of the non-conformism and insisted that her grandchildren were properly baptised. I'm sure there are plenty more potential reasons. Best wishes, Irene

The likely reason would be that the family were in need of Parish relief.  This was administered by the C of E.  ________________________________ From: Robert Burns <famh1story@aim.com> To: yorksgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, 28 September 2012, 23:58 Subject: [YORKSGEN] Why change faith Does anyone have in their tree a married couple having their first children christened in one denomination and then more christened in another?
