As I understand it, Quakers did not practice baptisms or christenings.
But did some Quakers still baptise their children anyway, for whatever reason?

Short answer: no.
You may find some people who were brought up as Quakers subsequently marrying non-Quakers, and being disowned, whose children may be baptised - but you won't find practising Quakers having their children baptised. The two things are mutually exclusive.

Baptists didn't (and still don't) baptise their children, but I have still found some Baptists having their children baptised at the parish church, usually just before they died. I still wouldn't expect to see Quakers doing likewise, though!
