City of London Anglican Churches with lost baptism records

[Gordon163]

Hi,

I have been unable to find the baptism of my gg-grandfather, William Douglas, although I have found the baptism of his six siblings in various churches in the City of London.

On the 1841 Census, his age was given as 30, as was his wife, who was born in 1807.

His elder brother, James Dyer Douglas was born in 1803 and baptised at St Dunstan's in the West on 5th Feb 1804.

His twin sisters, Amelia and Charlotte, were baptised at St Stephen Coleman Street on 17 Jun 1810.
(Amelia died as an infant and was buried at St Nicholas Cole Abbey on 16th Jan 1814.)

I think that William must have been baptised beteen 1804 and 1810, which is consistent with his 1841 Census record.

However, I think that it must have occurred at a church, which has no published baptisms.

(The parents were: William Douglas, a shoemaker, and Charlotte Dyer.)

Can anyone suggest which churches might fall into this category, please?

Any assistance most welcome.

P.S. St Olave's, Old Jewry, demolished in 1887, might be one such. It is quite near Coleman Street.

there's a baptism St Bride Fleet Street
20 Oct 1805 Thomas son of William & Charlotte Douglass, no. 13 Water Lane - born 8 Sept

Same address as baptism for James Dyer?

Thanks.

I wonder if this Thomas died as an infant, as there was another son named Thomas, who was born at Shoreditch in 1820.

Or, did someone write Thomas for William?

Thomas Duglas (1805 - ) died 1808 and buried at London Spa Fields, St James' Clerkenwell on 29th May 1808.

(They are using the Scottish naming pattern here. Thomas was the name of Charlotte's father and James was the name of William's father'. Then we have the parents' names: William and Charlotte.)

The record says that it was a non-conformist burial (perhaps not unusual for a Scottish Presbyterian).
