It says "Christings" at the top of the page, but yes, going back a couple of pages, the heading says "The names of such Children that was not ?????? after the Serimonis of the Church of England". Then some entries give the date of birth, others the date of baptism. One says "baptized by Mr" something. So are some of them non-conformist baptisms?

No, I think the ones with a date of baptism were parents who caved in under pressure from the church. Odd though - I am sure that the list I saw did not include baptism dates although it had some crossings-out on the page.
At the time (early 1700s) nonconformists in Darwen didn't baptise infants but the fact of their birth was recorded in Methodist circuit records in Stockport. OC |
