Tuesday Tip - Non-traditional Baptisms

It's easy to forget that not everyone was baptised as a child or was baptised in their home parish. Hear are some examples I found while transcribing the baptismal registers of St Martin Outwich in the City of London.

• 10 May 1772 Jane Hermitage, a black girl, aged abt 14 years
