Thankyou Ann, that makes sense, as one of the children died quite soon after birth, hopefully the other survived.

P.B. would probably be Private Baptism, which means they were baptised at home. Often this was for children too ill to attend church. Received into the Church was often a separate ceremony after a baptism.

No, these have been taken from the Record Office.
Early 19th Century.

Are these submitted records from the IGI? If so, treat them with suspicion - submitted records are often wildly inaccurate. They have been entered by members of the LDS who have the duty to trace their family back a few generations and a lot of the entries are probably just made up.

"Received into the Church" would probably mean they joined the Latter Day Saints (LDS) or Mormons.

I have the Baptismal records of 8 children born to the same parents but only one of them states 'Received into the Church'.

Also on two entries after the parents names is P.B.

Could anyone enlighten me please?
