it was just more convenient to .....err! "bulk buy" the vicars services
Don't think there has ever been a fee charged for baptisms, only if a certificate was desired. Bulk baptism tended to be the minster gathering in flock or family decided to get round to it finally.

Thank you all for your replies, and tales. Seems to me that just about anything was possible back in those interesting times. It’s a wonder anybody makes sense of it, but we all seem to manage in the end. Forget sudoku puzzles this hobby keeps the brain well and truly tested.

Regards,

I have a Quaker ancestor who was baptized C of E the day she got married.  I assume the vicar told her that was the only way he would marry the couple!  This was in Hornby, Lancs.
