Hello to all who requested a look up in the Christ Church parish Baptism registers. So far I have looked at the first five registers for Christ Church 1855 to July 1894. Some of the names have not appeared, so could they be in a different church register? These are my interpretation of the handwriting and is sometimes a guess at the names, so please check the film for yourself - available on loan from the LDS centres at 2 pounds 50 pence for 4 weeks.
