Mum - Such love

Digressing a bit, I know, but another question I asked Lloyd, last night, was about my missing ancestor who's baptism I can't locate in 1785 (still hoping though). There is a lady, who I suspect is his sister, who lived nearby (other clues, too), whose baptism is missing, too. On the 1851 census it says that she was born at Old Park, Salop (on the 1841 says born Staffs ). So, I checked the Dawley Magna parish register hoping to find both Rebecca and Thomas's baptisms - but nothing was there. I then read that the area at Old Park was extra-parochial - so they could go anywhere to get their children baptised. I also asked the question, would it be possible, as they were not tithed to a particular church, etc, that they might just not bother getting the children baptised, and Lloyd said that that was indeed possible. So, that might explain my ancestor's situation (though I hope not), and might explain some missing entries in some areas, Dobby. Doesn't explain those where they stayed in on area though, does it!  I suspect, as we've said, that baptisms could be eslsewhere - wive's own parish, etc. Let's see what Stan says, shall we.
