NOTES:
1: The street name at the time of Clara's baptism in 1867 may have actually been Westmoreland Place.
2: Rosina was born in Toronto and was probably baptized there. I have not found that record.
3: As a rule, early Church of England baptism registers did not record the child's date of birth, but many clergy entered the birthdates in as additional information.
4: Church of England baptism registers do not normally record the names of Godparents.
5: The above information is taken from scanned images at www.ancestry.co.uk.
