When Christ Church , Laxey was built on the Electric Railway Station [MER] it was in the village & not several miles away up hill. I suspect some people began going to church more

often & hence the Chaplain caught up with a lot of older children & adults who were unbaptised. A number of families have baptisms of several children all on the same day. He did put

the ages or birthdates in the margin.

no. 69 / Alice Martha Lawson Kelly was apparently new born but Annie Lawson K no . 70 / was 6yrs. & Helena Lawson K no. 71 was 4yrs. Chaplain Davies. // From 1904 ---Chaplain Gibson wrote all

birthdates.
