If only all parish records were as informative as this…

Looking at the images for Chertsey baptisms, the "Dade-type" entries only appear from January 1809.

Thanks, I hadn’t got any events here in the 1809-1813 period, so missed seeing them.

The parish register for baptisms from Henstridge in Somerset are very full for the period 1802-1812. The incumbent not only gives the maiden names of the mother, but the names of the grandparents, their abode and the grandfathers, occupations! It helped me go back one more generation and saved an enormous amount of searching.

Also sometimes if you are very lucky, the Barrington registers include the name of the child's maternal grandfather. 

Yes I have also seen that as well. My ancestor's sister's baptism said she was the daughter of William Mason, a native of Dent, Westmoreland and Anne daughter of Joseph Hetherington of Weardale. Westmoreland is now Cumbria, as is the parish of Dent now in Cumbria but in the 1700s it was still in far North West Yorkshire, near the Westmoreland border. Also a part of Lancashire sticks out towards Dent and is only about 2 or so miles away.

I remember that. Also part of Marylebone gave birth counties in 1841 for people not born in Middlesex. Close but no cigar for my ancestor who lived in another part of Marylebone, who said not born in county and died in Feb 1851 just weeks before the 1851 census.

  Going back to my comment - reply1 - it does almost seem as if there was some sort of movement among clergy to put more detail in the birth registers for a few years leading up to 1813.

A quick google Dade Parish Registers gives a little more information.

In some parts of Italy, marriage records required the bride and groom to provide the details of their christening, and if either of their fathers were deceased, they also had to describe when and where he died.

Whilst looking for a baptism of my Gt x 4 Grandmother in 1785 Portsmouth. A register from a Baptist church was a revelation. The ministers there recorded Father, Mother, Persons present, Date and Place of Birth (Transport Ship's name, and position, in some cases) Fathers rank, Regiment, and often details of what the regiment was engaged in. He also included, which I researched, and found to be current American War of Independence propoganda. He went as far as calling one father's senior officer a despot.(I hope none of them returned to read the entries as he would have been in serious trouble) . I had a couple of Chertsey Baptisms, 1830s, they were quite sparse, I must look again.
