    Oooh, I have a child in my tree who was baptised at his mother's funeral!

    And very glad of it too, was I, because his father remarried a woman with the same first name, and until I saw that baptismal note, I had no idea the first wife had died.

      I have noticed a number with the comment "patre defuncto" (I think that that grammar's correct - it's from memory). I understand that to mean "by a deceased father" - I had thought that "posthumus/a" would have been a more likely description.

        and yesterday I found a baptism when the father had died a year earlier, but no mention in the register.

          I found the burial of George Dawson in 1849, which gives his age as 49 years - stilling looking for his baptism around 1800. No idea which parish, but 1841 census indicates somewhere in Surrey - and I hope around Lee, Deptford, Rotherhithe !

          Quite a lot of twins, I noticed in the Lee Registers.

            One from St James Ratcliffe: Mary Wheeler Gillett's father rejoiced in the name of Alfred the Great Wheeler.

              How about this transcription
              Baptism of Annie Esther Inskip on 11 Jun 1882 at St Michael Cornhill, City of London.
              Father's Name Natural Laughter Inskip
              Mother's Name Eliza Inskip

              She was actually the natural daughter of Eliza Inskip.

                Presumably an unusually fertile man! ;)

                  I think I found him in the LMA records on ancestry - my George Dawson !!! yippee, now to track him and down and try and prove it.

                  Baptism - 31 Dec 1800 to Joseph and Mary Dawson, at St Mary Rotherhithe, right where he should have been !!.

                  Clues - Joseph and Mary had a daughter Diana Elizabeth, and one called Harriet who died at 3 years. George called his daughters Mary Ann and Sophia (wife) Diana/Dinah and Elizabeth.

                  Joseph, on Harriets burial was called a Blockmaker, but may appear in the directories as Joseph Dawson, Ship Chandler, which was also George's occupation(as well as Sail maker).

                  The "abodes" named in some of the baptisms and burials are all local to each other, Paradise st, West Lane, Cherry Garden St.

                  I am hopeful, I may have found George and his family
