Try www(dot)familysearch(dot)org The Mormons have transferred most Church records to computer, so if they were christened, as is likely, there is a good chance of finding them - albeit you may still need to check a copy of the original record at a library or archives office. Best wishes Stan Driver

Hi Kathleen. If you have the marriage cert it may be that either or both of the families used that church for christenings etc. Looking up the registers at William Brown Street got us some way back. Just a thought, although its a long way from Hants

Hi If you type in "Hugh Wallis site" (I cannot remember the website) on a search engine you should access the church records before 1837 - excellent site it will keep me going for a long time. Roseanne
