Hi Kathleen, Thanks for that, not sure which church, probably RC, will take a look tomorrow, its my Grandmothers Baptism I am looking for, all the family where born in Kirkham Lancashire except her, I think they may have been visiting relatives when she was born but I can't find a baptism for her in Kirkham so I presume she must have been baptised in Halifax as well. Thanks again and good night Pat. |

Halifax central library also holds quite a lot of records in their archive. Might be worth trying them too. Tracey |
