Wesleyan Baptisms at Byng (Cornish Settlement) 1843-1898

The Cornish Association of New South Wales has a handwritten extract of the data in the baptism records for the Chapel at the Cornish Settlement, later renamed Byng. There are some records which were difficult to interpret. Such records have a question mark against them, especiallly where the name of a person was nearly illegible. Some records had no data in specific parts of the entry. There are not many such records and the bulk of them will give useful background to the Cornish and other folk who were born in the area and baptised at the Chapel.
