Could it be a misprint that the list is referred to as the Oakenshaw Baptist Roll because even if there was an Oakenshaw Baptist that I'm not aware of I would have thought the roll would have stayed in Baptist hands.

Even the relatives of the dead soldiers refered to it as Oakenshaw Baptists, when they were interviewed by an Observer reporter on their relatives death in action. I've even got newspaper reports that relatives have said their sons name is on such and such R-O-H, when its not, the biggest culprit for errors is St Mary's up Ossy.
