Baptisms St Mary's Church Sydney (Cathedral) 11 - 18 June 1848
Tony Moore
I have a photocopy of a page of the Baptism Register which relates to St
Mary's Church (now the Cathedral) in Sydney. Note that the civil parish
follows the Anglican parish name of St James. These Baptisms are pre state
registration which started in 1856. It shows both Birth date and Baptism
Date. There is one capital letter before each of the register numbers but no
indication what it means. It is in a different handwriting to the rest.
All except the last one were performed by "Revd Mr McEncroe"
[Father McEncroe was the parish priest at the time]
"Roman Catholic Baptisms in the Parish of St James in the county of
Cumberland from the 11th June to the 18th June in 1848"
