Registers earlier than 1941 have been vested in Tasmanian Archives Office and are generally available for online searching. Follow: Libraries Tasmania Name Index Search. Libraries Tasmania holds extensive church registers from many different centres across several denominations, but much of the archive collection has not been digitised, and particular registers might need to be booked for reading at the Hobart reading room. See Libraries Tasmania – Church registers held by Tasmanian Archives for a catalogue of the register collection.
Historical Details
St. John's was always popular as a church to get one's children baptised. During the 1980s, much more emphasis was placed by clergy on the Christian understanding of baptism, and it became harder for people with no ongoing connection to St. John's, or indeed the church, to have their children baptised.Materials
