Baptism or burial?
Hi, I have a batch of non-conformist records from Lancashire, UK. It doesn't state whether they are baptisms or burials. The lack of names without mentioning a parent or spouse suggest it is baptisms, but I can't be sure. It also doesn't state the parish/county or year, but it does mention a month and day. The top right hand corner says E56/1 - I don't understand this. What do I do with this batch?

It looks like births/baptisms. I doubt that Margaret d (daughter) of William & Selina Allen would be a labourer in the time of the record. But, I bet her father, William, was a labourer. You can only index the names and month/day - unless there are instructions that you can look at the reference images to find more information.
Here is a link for more information on reference images:
We really aren't supposed to take screenshots of these records and post them. It is better to share the batch by copying and pasting the link or batch code. Here is a link to a help article about sharing batches:
