Why would who be baptised?
Quakers neither practice baptism nor celebrate the Eucharist. Registers are kept of births http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~engqfhs/Research/records.htm#Births

But they were not Quakers, they were Church of England.

Ancestry has a Quaker record for Ventress dated 1830.

Hi Jen

Thank you, I am getting a little confused here, I have all the records for the Dixon family now and they are down as Quakers,

Thank you, I am getting a little confused here, I have all the records for the Dixon family now and they are down as Quakers,

For some reason Ventress, Rachel and Mary Jane all had a Church of England baptism in 1839.

But they were not Quakers, they were Church of England.

Ancestry has a Quaker record for Ventress dated 1830.

On the record under the name of the parents it says that they are 'not in membership'

The full birth date for Ventress is shown on the Quaker records but only 1830 is shown on the FS entry in 1839

Perhaps the family changed churches in the intervening years
