Just to add to Suzanne's tip for those not in the know, type in 'Hugh Wallis batch numbers' in your search engine (the web address is quite long and won't show up properly here)and it lists all the churches and gives alternative batch numbers for christenings, marriages and deaths at each. You can link straight to the correct page at the familysearch site from there. Get it saved to your favourites! Also Suzanne, once you have the first childs parents details and batch number, enter the surname only in the search, but put parents FIRST names in the boxes provided. This will bring up all recorded siblings without having to check each record (hope you understand what I mean!)
