I emailed a church for baptism information ...l but they wanted a standard £20 fee to look ...l they did find it and hand wrote the detail and posted it to me

Nothing is free ...where genealogy is concerned ...


Edit ...
except on the boards here ...

I know it isn't of help but I know of a lady born 1935 who was adopted at four years old and had never seen her baptism, she was illegitimate. She went to the church in town and saw ? priest who said he was unable to help. She came to the family history to see if we could help and then decided to go back to the church, a bit more determined and found a kinder man, presumably another priest who went to the records and gave her a copy. Not only did it have her mother but also the reputed father. The information is there and probably quite easy to find.
