	Just something I picked up at LMA but could apply elsewhere. I was hunting baptisms around 1905 and knew general area but not which church. So I looked for family on 1901 census and it gives the parish at the top of the page. I then found most of the baptisms I needed in the same parish. Hope this helps someone. Jim
