   Different parishes - different clerks   
      
   Anecdotes follow   
   :   
   1.   
   Change of parish:   
   three of my great-great-grandfather's children died mid 19C as   
   neo-nates.  They were baptised in the City of London parish in which   
   they lived, and buried a day or so later in the family crypt of the   
   church of the neighbouring parish in which the family business was   
   based,   The father's address was his house for the baptism, and his   
   father's house (his own business address) for the burial.   
      
   2.   
   Reasons for private baptism   
   A great-great-great-great-aunt's husband was a Naval officer.  The   
   parrten of private and public baptisms for their children suggest to   
   me that the public baptisms were delayed  until his next leave.
