Does anyone know what S:C stands for on 1748 St Paul Baptism Register?

[SueChris]

I can't work out what the S C means, written beside many names on this page.

Thanks

is the S for Shroud?
is the C for Cotton?

earlier pages in the same pdf file have enties (oops .... JM typo)  entries ....including S.W. for the burial cloths.   Would that W be for Wool?

Some info http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=2721.0

I'll be interested to know the answer to this.

It seems odd that some entries say "son or daughter of ...." but most just say S:C. 
There are burials with S:C beside them a couple of pages earlier ...

And the page heading is "Baptisms"

Senior Citizen?

Most seem to be against individuals without parents names.

It almost seems like they have listed burials under baptisms. The S C does seem to relate to burials. The website has the item I was interested in under baptisms whereas it looks like a burial. They probably have all these burials listed as baptisms.

Burials under baptisms? Makes you wonder how many times that's happened and nobody's noticed  especially when all you get is the name and the date. As an aside, don't you wish all record keepers had nice clear handwriting like that?

I've seen quite a few PR transcripts / facsimiles where baptisms & marriages & burials are just entered chronologically on the same page.  You just have to work out from the information given, just which it is.

(This I've learnt from cataloguing CDs for our FHS library      )

Yes,  I agree Dawn,  I too have seen baptisms and burials on the same page in parish registers, particularly in NSW Australia's Early church records.   (Chronological order, and lack of names for parents on those entries that have the initials... are pointers to burials as per other pages headed burials)....
