	Had a look on BVRI. All they have there is the births of the last 5 children of John & Rebecca. A job lot christening, I see. The birth dates of the children are there if you don't have them. Nothing for the marriage of John & Rebecca, though and no birth for John. Margaret

	This is the nearest but is in Surrey - could be a good thing if John only thought he was born in Middlesex. JOHN CATTON Christening: 18 FEB 1810 Caterham, Surrey, England Father: JOHN CATTON Family Mother: MARY ANNIS Selena
