Have you checked irishgenealogy.ie leaving the first name blank?
rootsireland has some C of I baptisms, but not suere if they have them that late.
If you want to give the name, people can try help.

MissSarah,

You have mistakenly posted on "How to Use RootsChat board (Please don't post requests here)".
I have asked a moderator to move your request to a more appropriate board where you might find an answer.

LH sorry , I don't now know if I can post here, another person said I can't x And I don't know where my post was moved to  to be able to find it again! X
 Person was born in 1884, I think registered in Banbridge, parents married there a year before x The trouble is, I cannot find his birth registration anywhere, hence why I'm searching for baptism record x

[MissSarah]

Dublin1850 I have x I cannot find his birth registration,  so looking for baptisms x I only know how to use irishgenealogy for births, marriages and deaths x  I have found his marriage and I have a copy of death certificate x
 Am I correct in saying if a child was not registered,  they all had to be baptised?

The PRONI guide to church records says that the Banbridge COI records start in 1802 (Seapatrick parish). They have a copy from 1802 up to the mid 1900s. PRONI doesn’t have them on-line so a personal visit is required to view them.

To answer your question about mandatory baptism, no it wasn't mandatory, and not everyone was baptised. Plus some were baptised later in life. You sometimes see batch baptisms where a whole string of children in the same family were all baptised at once, some many years after their birth. So you need to search widely at times.
