I was baptised in infancy into the faith of my family.

Being baptised again into a different faith in adulthood at complete strangers' behest and without my agreement is a completely different thing.

Just checked and my birth registratio0n is there, but they've wrongly transcribed my mum's maiden name. I know from past searching that it's also listed on Ancestry and FreeBMD, and the Ancestry entry has the wrong county of birth, FreeBmd is correct though.

Retriever, as far as I can see the results you have seen are taken from official records and are there for research purposes, it's not a list of people who the LDS have baptised anymore than the same results would be on Ancestry/FreeBMD/Find My Past.

My marriage and 2 eldest's births are on FS, my birth and my youngest child's are not because we were both born in Scotland.  As for baptism  I'm a devout atheist

Only if you think that a religious ceremony you don't believe in can have some effect but that doesn't make much sense, does it?

On second thoughts this is not good if they add Scotland data  my half sister was reared as my full sister and "used" my father's name although her real dad signed as father.  Her children and now grandchildren don't know about her dad  - I only know because I did the research at GRO in Edinburgh. The ramifications of living folks secrets no longer being secret are/could be quite scarey.

Whether it does or does not have any effect is neither here nor there.

The fact it may have been done (as I said I haven't checked) without my knowledge/permission is what I don't agree with.

Perhaps we should agree to disagree on this.

Mormons do not baptise living people into their church.

But the Anglican Church do!
I am very much against ANY baptism that the person concerned hasn't chosen for themselves.

My 36 year old daughters have never been baptised - that is their personal decision.

I've also found a wrongly transcribed maiden name; contacted FamilySearch who have agreed it needs correction and are now organising for that to be done.

Yes, that was my point.  What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
