Please can anyone tell me where I might be able to find non-conformist baptism records for Midsomer Norton in the 1840s? I'm looking for some record of the birth of my g-grandfather Albert James HOME - he was Congregationalist, and was born in Midsomer Norton about 1846. I haven't found him in the civil registration of births. (His surname was sometimes - wrongly - spelt HOLMES.) Thanks, Margaret Hayon [HOME] Galilee, Israel

Looking at my list of British birth/baptism sites, I see that the Forest of Dean has some Miscellaneous Parish Records from Norton. I don't know if it is appropriate, but maybe you can try that? http://www.forest-of-dean.net/fodmembers/parish_lists.html#1 Search with this URL (registration required): http://www.forest-of-dean.net/fodmembers/index.php?mode=page&id=2 If you have not tried it, also try with Nome and Kome in case the handwriting made it look like a different first letter. Maybe even Rome. Of course, there always are the assorted LDS databases, if you have not checked them yet, direct urls to their specific databases for the British Isles, and other birth/baptism resources, are at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thecohens/birthindexes-bri.html On 12/18/10, Margaret Hayon <[email protected]> wrote: > Please can anyone tell me where I might be able to find non-conformist > baptism records for Midsomer Norton in the 1840s? > I'm looking for some record of the birth of my g-grandfather Albert James > HOME - he was Congregationalist, and was born in Midsomer Norton about 1846. > I haven't found him in the civil registration of births.
