Description | "Baptisms solemnized in the Birmingham Infirmary in the County of Warwickshire". Columns are When Baptized, Child's Christian Name, Parents' Names (Christian, Surname), Abode, Quality, Trade or Profession, By whom the Ceremony was performed. There is no birth date recorded. Many of the parents' names are mothers only.
Discontinued after 177 entries; an annotation after the entry for 26 June 1953 reads "Baptismal entries have almost ceased because of the changed nature of the Hospital (now Summerfield Hospital)." There are only two more entries, one in 1958 for a child with no parents' names, and one in 1962 for a child whose parents' address was Summerfield Hospital Nurses' Home. |
