On a few of my baptisms for a certain family I have for instance:-
Baptism 15 November 1789
and in the notes:-
Private baptism: received into church 18 Jul 1790: tax rec'd
I had assumed that a lot of baptisms were done en masse and this was a lone one but they had to pay something although I don't understand the heirarchy of why anyone had to do this.
