Hi, I am looking help in finding the Christening Records from the Bishop's Transcripts of Christ Church Coseley for: Christening Record: LEWIS JAMES, he was born May 30, 1850, Bloomfield, Tipton. His father was THOMAS JAMES and mother MARY (WELSH, HALL). The IGI has a Christening C037861, Date 06/16/1850 Coseley In Sedgley, Staffordshire, England. SARAH ANN JAMES, IGS has a Christening C037861, 3/20/1853, Coseley in Sedgley, Staffordshire, same parents as above. Marriage Record: THOMAS JAMES, Bloomfield to MARY ANN (WELSH) HALL, widow of Bloomfield. Do the Church records carry more information than the Certificates from the GRO? I have the marriage Certificate for THOMAS & MARY and Birth Certificate for LEWIS JAMES from the GRO. The GRO makes it easy to order certificates but the Dudley Archives does not do it by credit card so it makes it difficult to order the information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nancy Averill USA
