	Try familysearch Or freereg Ancestry and FMP both have such records, but they have to be paid for

Try free trials with Ancestry or Find my Past. But remember to cancel on time. Try your local library for free access, usually to Ancestry. Try local family history societies. Genuki placename can sometimes lead you to the right source - a few actually have lists of either bmd or both. Visit local records offices.

	On at least one of your many threads on here, you refer to ancestors born in the 16th century - where did you find the info about them? Perhaps you could try the same site(s)??
