Thank you for another interesting reply. I also have children of the same parents being batised in different churches. Some years ago I was told they could not be connected, but certificates and other records tell a different story. Always learning.

Funny about that! I had an experience a little while back where I was told that someone living at Penryn/Falmouth in 1843 could not be related to someone from Penzance because they all stayed in the area they were born/worked. This of course meant that a 13-year-old must have been the progenitor of my Trewhella family at Madron. Did not seem to matter that this same 13-year-old married someone else and died up around Tyneside. Must have been a clever fella also ...................... seems he managed to maintain two separate families concurrently! The ideas of some people! But Wills are funny things and it can be amazing what they can do to suggestions/arguments like the above. The Will of Malachi Trewheela of Penryn in 1843 is a case in point. Malachi left property at Penzance to two of his daughters but the really funny thing is that it was at this particular address in Penzance that he was living in 1841! ;D Even funnier was that Malachi was born at Ludgvan and his daughters were living at Falmouth! And, like you, I have seen numerous times where a family has spread its baptisms around. I have seen a child baptised in the Established Church followed by one or more siblings baptised at different Non-Conformist Chapels and then a return to the Established Church for another child and so on. It's a funny old World!
