EAST MIDLANDS GENERAL BAPTIST HISTORY

Melbourne & Packington
General Baptist Baptisms
1765 - 1770

Sorted alphabetically. Names in brackets have been crossed out in the Register

These registers have been extracted for the IGI by the LDS, but the Baptisms shown on these pages show, incorrectly, as births. It is important to remember that, in accordance with one of the principal tenets of the General Baptist faith, baptisms were not performed until the member had made the conscious decision to embrace the religion. This means that these are not baptisms for babies or young children.

Additionally, because the General Baptist religion was established in the mid-1700s and gained popularity in the latter part of the 18th century, many of the people mentioned in these files had previously been christened in the Church of England.
