Just seen this reopened post.
Those Baptist who were on Hyndburn Rd, at what was known as Gods Little Acre, did not baptise children, they only baptised those who requested it, I have a coppy of some of their registers in my computer, incidentally, they moved to Hyndburn Rd (Allom Lane) from Clayton, they then moved to Blackburn Rd, next to the railway arch, then to Cannon St, now they are in Christ Church.
