I was looking for an old baptism record - Manchester Cathedral documents all digitally on-line (wonderful resource) - and found what I think my be my 'relative' - but unlike all the others that say - for example - Anne, daughter of John and Mary Smith --- my entry (and many others have the same expression written too) says - Samuel Lord - nothing more in the note
I am imagining a child left on the doorsteps of the church. My husband thinks the people wrote down the info on paper near the font and then when written into the register - there was no other information.
Anyone know?
Thanks
