Hello Prue, Godparents/Sponsors names were often - but not alway - recorded in the registers. You might find the following Anglican Archives link informative - http://www.archives.anglican.asn.au/index.php/p2/family_history If you have an approximate date for the baptisms, you could try contacting the State Library and request a lookup through the Ask A Librarian service - http://askalibrarian.sl.nsw.gov.au/reft100.aspx?key=reqclient&ref=120 Or perhaps someone on the List who has access could check the information for you.
