was it unusual to have 2 children christened on the same day? I have found 4 of the 6 children, and 3 of them are not long after the time they were born, but one of them would have been 3 years old and christenened on the same day as her sister.

Not that unusual. I think sometimes vicars had a go at their parishoners and did a '3 for the price of 2' deal! nell

thanks nell, is it a bit strange that I cant find the other 2? considering the other 4 were done?

Perhaps they were born when there was a different vicar who wasn't such a stickler! nell
