Are the records extracted or are they member submissions? If they are member submissions, they may be incorrect. Sam x |

They should definately be able to find a baptism I would have thought. Do they actually hold the non-conformist records that you need? Sam x |

Margaret Order the film from your local LDS family history centre. The church records may not have been deposited in the Records Office - it isnt compulsory. OC |

Which 'local office' do you mean? Do you refer to the nearest LDS centre? Reg |

Margaret According to the LDS, the records (originals) are held by Essex Records Office - Chelmsford Document number D/NC 31/1 Ask them to have another look using this, their reference number! OC |

Margaret Then the only thing you can do now is to borrow the film from the LDS and check for yourself. Sadly, I have to say that I do have ONE instance of an entry, supposedly extracted, being falsified by the transcriber, who I can only assume, had a personal interest in the family and did not want the illegitimacy to be uncovered....
