Hi Gwen The parish church of Holy Cross Binstead (or Binsted) near Alton had its set of own parish registers, dating from 1653, the originals of which are held by the Hampshire Record Office. Be aware that there is also a parish of the same name on the Isle of Wight, which was part of Hampshire until 1973. Records of this parish are at the Isle of Wight Record Office.
