"Received into the Church" is an expression used for someone baptised elsewhere: either by private (or even emergency - as in deathly ill at birth) baptism, or by baptism into a different denomination, where the baptism has been recognised as valid, so avoiding the heresy of re-baptising.
The Stoneham/-house thing could easily happen where someone's PoB is being recorded in Hants rather than Devon. I have a similar case where someone bron in Lymington (Hants) has PoB recorded as "Leamington", in a census some distance away. Royal Leamington Spa is a larger place than Lymington, so more well-known, especially for people who don't know south coast villages.
I'll go back through the posts, here, if I remember when I get home, to see if there's enough info... I may be able to find something among the Devon info I have... a PM to me might be a good way to remind me - say on 30 April or thereabouts?
