No is the short answer :-) But then again lack of a record doesn't mean they weren't.

Are you looking for anyone in particular? Maybe we can help if you give us a name and approximate year of birth.

No, many children were not baptised

This could be because the parents could not afford it, or there was no parish priest where they lived ............... many churches in remote places did not have an incumbent but relied on a travelling priest to visit occasionally

BUT they could be baptised at a later date .............

some parents baptised several children at once, which could be because of the travelling priest, or because it was cheaper.

A child might be baptised before starting work, so around age 7, 8 or 10; or they might be baptised just before they married.

You should always check for late baptisms.

Plus of course a child might be baptised in a non-conformist church, including RC, Quaker, Methodist, etc.
