Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 131 Send Message	Hello, I have just discovered on the IGI site that one of my ancestors had four children. The record says they were 'Christened: Lying In Hospital, Endell St, Holborn'. I have googled this and read quite a bit about the Lying-in Hospital itself but the record doesn't say my relatives were born there but that they were christened there. Does anyone know whether there was a church or chapel attached to the hospital, or whether they could have been christened at the bedside? I know someone out there must know! Thanks Cherie
