CHAMBERLAIN family (20th century) – a triple Baptism in Wickhamford in 1918
On 10th March 1918, the Rev’d Allsebrook baptised three babies of the Chamberlain family in the Church of St John the Baptist, Wickhamford. Triplets would have been most unusual in any case, but in this instance the babies had different parents. The baptisms were of cousins James Henry, Francis George and Joan Elizabeth Chamberlain.
