Can anyone please tell where to look for births before 1837? I am trying to find a birth for Elizabeth Storrow around 1835. Please someone put me in the right direction. Thanks katrina Australia

Katrina You will have to look at Parish Records. Probably your best place to start, if you dont have an area, is the Family search site (LDS). This will hopefully give you a few clues to follow and if you go to Liobrary on the same site, you can search for filmed PRs held by the LDS. You can then order suitable film to view at your nearest LDS Family History Centre (addresses also available on LDS site) Happy hunting Marjorie
