Advice on finding a lost baptism record

[Maggie1895]

OK, so know you now why I never got my observation badge in the Brownies!

Still a bit puzzled about the naming date.    I was not brought up in the Anglican Church so things may be different to other denominations, but birth date and baptism, fine. - I also understand the churching service for the mother.    I appreciate that the baptism is actually the admission into the wider church, but what is the naming date?  Am I missing something blindingly obvious?

Thankyou all for your help. hmmmm now I just need to figure out what they were doing in SURREY. They sure liked to be on the move. I to am curious about the naming date? I've never heard of a seperate day of naming before.

Firstly there are lots of "London Middlesex" parishes to wade through.    I've found in my research that quite a few babies are taken back to their mothers' home parish, often many miles away, to be baptised.

It's also possible that the baby was privately baptised at home and the information never made it to the parish register.
