I wonder if anyone can help?
I'm trying to confirm the baptism of Ruth Ratcliff(e) which appears via Ancestry, in the 'England, Select Births and Christenings, 1538-1975' collection.
I have tried to verify the place and date by checking the images of St Mary & All Saints PR's, but there is no relevant baptism.. Which leads me to wonder where Ruth was actually baptised?
Does anyone have an idea what Chesterfield-NC means?

It's also on Family Search - father Moses
Not sure but NC could stand for Non-Conformist

According to familysearch\wiki:
The following non-Church of England denominations were located somewhere in Chesterfield, but the exact parish has not been identified:
Baptist
Presbyterian
Roman Catholic
Sandemanian
Wesleyan Methodist

An image of the entry for the baptism which took place at Elder Yard Chapel (Presbyterian), Chesterfield can be found on Findmypast.

Thank you all!
I feel silly now, though it was late in the evening here, so I'll claim that as my excuse ;)
Also this must be one of the earliest non conformist records among my interests so far.
Thank you again. It is much appreciated.
