How can you tell what Non conformist religion someone was?
I have the parish register entry for an ancestor's baptism (So I presume not a Baptist as they don't beleive in child baptisms)
that leaves quite a few to choose from, are there any clues????
thanks

They aren't catholics, perhaps I should have written what is at the top of the page of entries:-
"Register of the Baptisms solemnised in the congregation of Protestant Dissenters called Independents"
Religion isn't my strong point....(you can tell can't you?)

Where do these baptisms take place, and at what time?

Just as a matter of interest, I googled "Independent Religion", loads came up but most of them I could not even pronounce.
When googling "Protestant Dissenters called Independents" there are far less.
British History Online has an article here and if you wind down to the bottom and click Protestant Dissent it lists quite a few chapels of different denominations.

As I half suggested above, searching the National Archives catalogue with a search term of 'independent' and series code RG 4 will list the chapels. The questioner may be able to identify the chapel in question from the list.
I think perhaps the questioner may not have realised that 'Independent' was actually the name of the denomination.

The Chapel concerned is the Horsham Independent Chapel, Horsham. West Sussex. The baptisms were in 1827

If you google "Horsham Independent Chapel" you will hit a website where it is being advertised as for sale. It is listed as "Former Jireh Independent Baptist Chapel" with hyperlinks to further information.
