Re: Christening dates
In Response To: Christening dates ()

Christenings can be at any age - from the new-born, not expected to survive, to years old (when sometimes whole families were christened together) - in England at this time, anyway. You can't rely on them for age - though they will usually be close to the birth date. My manx families seem to have been christened at all sorts of ages - looking at the census ages - but you can't rely on these either!
