BAPTISM MARGIN ENTRY H of N help?

[reereeree]

Hi there, I wonder if anyone has ever come across an entry of ‘H of N’ in the margin of a baptism record.

It appears many times on other baptisms but later is shortened to HN.

The record is from 1887 and the child it appears against died a few weeks after baptism from inanition.


Elizabeth Partington
Age   0
Birth Date   12 Aug 1887
Baptism Date   30 Aug 1887
Baptism Place   Everton, St Chad with Christ Church, Lancashire, England
Father   Samuel Partington
Mother   Elizabeth Partington


Any thoughts?

Thank you

Are you able to post a clip of the entry so people can see what you are looking at?

You can see it on ancestry if you have a subscription.

Thinking outside the box here - but could it actually be H of I  - House of Industry.

Not a definitive answer, but might it be "Hour of Need" - where the child is dangerously ill, and the minister has perhaps been called out in the middle of the night?

There's a later entry (in another hand) where it's clearly H.N.:

Hour of Need sounds very plausible. I thought that P for private covered that situation but maybe not.

I'd agree with Hour of Need. 

FreeBMD show a death registration in September quarter 1887 - West Derby RD (which would cover Everton) for Elizabeth Partington, aged 0.

Hi, yes Elizabeth died on the 16th September 1887 at her home and was buried 3 days later in the Parochial Cemetery, Rice Lane, Walton, Liverpool. Thank you
